Heart Over Mind

(album: War Paint - 1994)

Well he walked into the room with his love de jour
She was a pony-tailed porcelain doll
She was draped on his arm like a fine mink fur
She was at his beck and call
I couldn't hear a word he said
But I've heard it all before
And like a rusty hinge on an eerie night
When you slowly close the door

He sent chills up and down, up and down my spine
He does it to me every time
It's just a case of heart over mind
And still, somehow, he gets to me
Well I ain't deaf, and I ain't dumb or blind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind

Well, he walked into my life full of savoir faire
Oh, the things he could say with a smile
And I fell in love on the spot, right there
Good Lord, that man had style
Now I know better than to take him back
But I'll take a second look
'Cause I still get weak when he walks my way
'Cause he sure did a body good

He sent chills up and down, up and down my spine
He does it to me every time
It's just a case of heart over mind
And still, somehow, he gets to me
Well I ain't deaf, and I ain't dumb or blind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind

I've come to my senses
He ain't right for me (he ain't right for me)
But he gets through my defences
It's hard to believe

He still sends chills up and down, up and down my spine
He does it to me every time
It's just a case of heart over mind
And still, somehow, he gets to me
Well I ain't deaf, and I ain't dumb or blind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind

Heart over mind
Heart over mind
I know it's only heart over mind
Heart over mind
I know it's only heart over mind
