Was (Not Was) - How the Heart Behaves (original acoustic Guitar demo 1989) lyrics

She ran him over like a bus But he seemed to feel no pain Just laid there smiling Like a flower in the rain She shrunk his ego down so small That he didn't even know his name She knew no other way to love That's how she played the game But when he got her in a darkened room In the still of the afternoon He became her entire world And she cried like a little girl The line between pleasure and pain Can't be measured by means of the brain Mere reason alone can never explain How the heart behaves She wrapped her claws around him Like a crab around a rock It was baby this and baby that She never let him talk He couldn't see his shadow She was always in the light And if he moved she arched her back And dug her claws in tight But when he got her in a darkened room In the still of the afternoon He became her entire world And she cried like a little girl The line between pleasure and pain Can't be measured by means of the brain Mere reason alone can never explain How the heart behaves And they said that he'd break How much more could he take And just when you thought that he'd k** her She gave him a kiss, it never missed And then one day she ran away With a guy she hardly knew She left a note that said I'm bored with me and you He found another girl himself A high-heeled hurricane There was no calm inside her eyes Just a promise of more of the same The line between pleasure and pain Could not be measured by means of the brain Mere reason alone can never explain How the heart behaves That's how the heart behaves The heart goes boom-boom Take a listen
