Lyrics

My Mind Had a Mind of its Own


?Play the field? they said ? ?don?t ever settle down too young
And have some fun - you only live but once?
I lived that way till I met you
Your soul would melt my heart and shake up all my rules

I tried not to kiss you, but my lips they wouldn?t heed
I tried not to hold you, but my arms they felt the need
I tried not to love you and not to think of you alone
But, oh, my mind had a mind of its own

I was young I was cool I was free
I didn?t need a ball and chain attached to me
My thoughts and dreams were filled with you
The more I fell the more that inner conflict grew

I used to think commitment made a man look weak
If this is weakness I?ll be mayor of the meek
But, I?m not one to speak

I look back over fifteen years
Words of advice from them still echo in my ears
?Don?t let your heart be tied to one?
Those words still melt under the power of your love
