rate me

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