Heart Over Mind
Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]
I love you so much that I can't leave you
Even though my mind tells me I should
Then you make me think you really love me
Then all my thoughts of leaving do no good.
You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurtin' me I know but I just can't let you go
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change.
--- Instrumental ---
Now friends tell me they see you out with others
In my heart I try hard to forget
You come home and tell me you still love me
I still hope there's some chance for us yet.
You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurtin' me I know but I just can't let you go
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change.
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change.
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change...
