My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own
Christian Bautista Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People try and tell me that its crazy
You and I were never meant to be
I don't believe they know, and even if its so
I'm fallen anyway, no matter what they say.

Refrain:
A part of me is taking me by the hand
The world can't see, still they can't understand
Why can't they understand...

Chorus:
My heart has a mind of its own
Right or wrong it's gonna do
Only what it feel is true
I'll follow it where ever it goes
Anywhere it leads me to
My heart has a mind of its own.


Maybe we wont always be together
Maybe this'll last a thousand years
Ain't nobody knows, and even if they did
It wouldn't matter now
I'd love you anyhow.

Repeat Refrain and Chorus

My heart knows what I'm needing
My heart knows what I'm feeling
It knows me better than I know myself
My heart knows just what I'm missin'
All I have to do is listen
And listen well...





Repeat Chorus
