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 wives' 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.
