(music : Natalie Merchant / lyrics : Natalie Merchant)
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.
