I Listen to My Heart
Frank Ifield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say "you′re not the only one!",
But you've been my one and only from the start.
Don′t care what people say, I listen to my heart!
Let them laugh, let them frown,
Let them try to turn it down,
Let them try to make the teardrops start.
Don't care what people say, I listen to my heart!
Cause I know it wouldn′t tell me a lie.
Oh why should I Take a notice of any other guy?
They're just jealous, I know,
And they envy me so, But their gossip will never make us part.
Don′t care what people say, I listen to my heart!
I'll always listen to my heart, ′
Cause I know it wouldn't tell me a lie.
Oh why should I Take a notice of any other guy?
They′re just jealous, I know,
And they envy me so, But their gossip will never make us part.
Don't care what people say, I listen to my heart!
I don't care what people say, I just listen to my heart!
Just don′t you care what people say, Just you listen to your heart!
Don′t care what people say...
