Headstrong Songtext

von 10000 Maniacs

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
Wvies'
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.
