lyrics

Affairs of the Heart

I am a fool, I do believe
In love that’s true
But hey, the truth sometimes
Just stares right back on you
Don’t wanna hurt no one
When push comes to shove
I just can’t stand myself
When it comes to breaking hearts

In affairs of the heart you can’t trust no one
Can’t trust no one least of all me
In affairs of the heart you can’t trust no one
Can’t trust no one least of all me

I turned my back on love
But hell, I ain’t no saint
I do get tempted
And I jump back in again
I tell the sweetest lies
Sometimes I think they’re true
I am the asshole
When it comes to quittin’ you

In affairs of the heart you can’t trust no one
Can’t trust no one least of all me
In affairs of the heart you can’t trust no one
Can’t trust no one least of all me

My friend got married
To his girl the other day
I hope they’ll stick to each other
Through good'n'bad times, night and day
I do believe in love
That lasts eternally
But when I’m in it
I don’t trust no one - least of all me
Hey, don't trust no one - least of all me
