The Heart Wants What It Wants
Selena Gomez Lyrics

You got me sippin' on something
You have captivated my attention and caught my interest.

I can't compare to nothing I've ever known
I have never felt this intense of an attraction or connection before.

I'm hoping that after this fever I'll survive
I hope that this strong passion or infatuation doesn't consume or destroy me.

I know I'm acting a bit crazy
I understand that my behavior and thoughts might not seem logical or rational to others.

Strung out, a little bit hazy
I feel overwhelmed, emotional, and confused.

Hand over heart, I'm praying
I am appealing to a higher power for guidance, strength, or consolation.

That I'm gonna make it out alive
That I will survive and overcome this emotional turmoil.

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
I feel empty and lonely without you here.

The future that we hold is so unclear
I am uncertain about what lies ahead for us and our relationship.

But I'm not alive until you call
I feel disconnected from life and my surroundings without your presence or attention.

And I'll bet the odds against it all
I am willing to take risks or face obstacles for the sake of our relationship.

Save your advice 'cause I won't hear
I am aware of what others might say or think, but I am not interested in their opinions or input.

You might be right but I don't care
Others might have valid points or perspectives, but my heart overrides any rational analysis or logic.

There's a million reasons why I should give you up
There are plenty of valid or practical reasons why this relationship might not work out or might not be worth pursuing.

But the heart wants what it wants
But my emotions and desires dictate my actions and decisions.

You got me scattered in pieces
You have disrupted my life and scattered my thoughts and feelings.

Shining like stars and screaming
You make me feel alive, passionate, and ecstatic.

Lighting me up like Venus
You illuminate my world and bring beauty, joy, and love to my life.

But then you disappear and make me wait
But then you become distant, cold, or unresponsive, leaving me in suspense or uncertainty.

And every second's like torture
Every moment without you feels unbearable and agonizing.

Hell over trip, no more so
It feels like I am going through a terrible ordeal or nightmare, and I can't take it anymore.

Finding a way to let go
Trying to move on or end this relationship is a difficult and painful process.

Baby, baby, no I can't escape
I am trapped in this cycle of attraction, heartache, and uncertainty with you.

This is a modern fairy tale
Our relationship and its ups and downs resemble a contemporary version of a classic fairy tale story.

No happy endings
There might not be a traditional or conventional happy ending to our relationship.

No wind in our sails
We don't have the encouragement or support necessary to navigate this relationship smoothly or happily.

But I can't imagine a life without
Despite the challenges and uncertainties, I cannot fathom living my life without you.

Breathless moments
Moments where the passion, connection, and love feel overwhelming and take away one's breath entirely.

Breaking me down, down, down, down
These intense emotions and experiences are causing me to feel drained, worn out, or emotionally exhausted.

The heart wants what it wants, baby
The heart desires what it desires, regardless of external factors, opinions, or circums

It wants what it wants, baby
The heart has its own desire, vision, or agenda, that might not align with rational or practical considerations.

It wants what it wants
The heart has its own will, preferences, or tendencies, that can't necessarily be coerced, convinced, or reasoned with.
