The Heart Wants What It Wants Songtext
von Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox feat. Lara Johnston

You got me sippin′ on something
I can't compare to nothing
I′ve ever known, I'm hoping
That after this fever I'll survive
I know I′m acting a bit crazy
Strung out, a little bit hazy
Hand over heart, I′m praying
That I'm gonna make it out alive

The bed′s getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I′m not alive until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice ′cause I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There′s a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants


You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lightening me up like Venus
But then you disappear and make me wait
And every second′s like torture
Hell over trip, no more so
Finding a way to let go
Baby baby no I can't escape

The bed′s getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I′m not alive until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice ′cause I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There′s a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
Heart wants what it wants

This is a modern fairytale
No happy endings
No wind in our sails
But I can′t imagine a life without
Breathless moments
Breaking me down down down


The bed's getting cold and you′re not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I′ll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice 'cause I won′t hear
You might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
Heart wants what it wants
Heart wants what it wants
