My mother told me to break up with you, |
|
she didn't think you were good enough to take this prize, |
|
she didn't see any sparkle in your eyes, |
|
she said you acted like a boy, and you wore too much corderoy |
|
But my heart was set on you, |
|
my heart was set on you, |
|
Besides, her taste was lousy, and she never had a clue, |
|
and my heart was set on you |
|
My roommate begged me not to be with you, |
|
she couldn't stand the way you always left some toothpaste in the sink, |
|
she was amazed at your capacity not to think, |
|
she said your head was in a cloud, and you talked way too loud |
|
But my heart was set on you, |
|
my heart was set on you, |
|
I figured she was jealous that I'd found someone new, |
|
and my heart was set on you, |
|
It's a gamble, |
|
falling in love is sort of like Russian Roulette, |
|
yet in spite of all their warnings, |
|
I just knew you were a solid bet! |
|
A psychic swore you weren't the one for me, |
|
she couldn't find you in my aura as I sat their in her room, |
|
she said I shouldn't play the bride to your groom, |
|
I got her message loud and clear, |
|
and shoved it out the other ear, |
|
'cause my heart was set on you, |
|
my heart was set on you, |
|
why would I believe a bunch of Tarot cards were true, |
|
when my heart was set on you? |
|
It was terrible to face them when it all fell apart, |
|
When I was the last to know, |
|
yet there they were to catch the pieces of my breaking heart, |
|
with the grace not to say, |
|
I told you so. |
|
And now, to see you after all this time, |
|
I'm reminded of the clarity I had back then, |
|
Will I ever trust that feeling again? |
|
I was so willing to fall, |
|
But it's nice to recall how my... |
|
I'll always count myself among the lucky few, |
|
to have loved, |
|
the way I loved, |
|
when my heart was set on you |
