Use Your Heart
SWV (Sisters With Voices) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Refreshing conversation for the mind
As we stare we both seek and hope to find
Real love, purified
[Chorus]
Use your heart and not your eyes
Baby, just relax and ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Free your thoughts and watch them fly
Use your heart and not your eyes
I sigh as I watch you sleeping there
So easily I did things I'd never dare
I say to myself I'm glad that we share
Real love, purified
[Chorus]
My goodness, how it seems like yesterday
She crossed you, hurt you in the strongest way
You hurt so long, reward come to those who cry
Real love, purified
Just a second
I look at my watch's dial
And you love me
Helpin' me like a child
As we lay
I close my eyes and I smile
At your real love
Purified

Taj doesn't get enough credit for her beauiful tone. She has such a pretty voice 😍
@steviemcqueen3227
Dee Dee u r absolutely right. It wasn't until the 2nd album that we had a chance to hear both TAJ & LeLee singing lead. We only heard Coko on the first album. As I said, when they recorded all their other albums we got a chance to hear both TAJ & LeLee.
@JeffTheGent
So true! She also sounds great on "It's All About U," which she mostly leads with Coko coming in around the middle of the song, which is from "New Beginning," the same album "Use Your Heart" is from. And she got BUSY on the 2015 single "Ain't No Man," which she starts off, from the 2016 album "Still."
