10,000 Maniacs - Headstrong lyrics

To your common sense firm arguments I won't listen to your voice of reason, trying to change my mind I mind my feelings and not your words, didn't you notice I'm so headstrong even when I know I'm wrong? Take this to your heart and into your head now Before you waste your time, call a truce and call a draw What's the use in mapping your views out in orderly form When it does nothing but confuse and anger me more? I mind my feelings and not your words, didn't you notice I'm so headstrong? You're talking to a deaf stone wall Take this to your heart and into your head now The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it 'All is fair in love and war', that's how the famous saying goes Open up your eyes, see me for what I am Cast in iron, I won't break and I won't bend Take this to your heart and into your head now The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it 'All is fair in love and war', that's how the famous saying goes If I told you we were out to sea in a bottomless boat You'd try anything to save us, you'd try anything to keep us afloat And if we were living in a house afire, I don't believe That you could rush out and escape it and not rescue me Take this to your heart and into your head now The old wives' tale is true, I'll repeat it 'All is fair in love and war', that's how the famous saying goes Listen, I think they were talking to you
