I've always been a strong girl
My heart has a mind of it's own
Oh people say
Stacie, you shoulda known girl
But my heart just wouldn't leave it alone

He was everything I should have wanted
Even daddy really thought so too
But my heart just wasn't havin' it
After all them things it led me back to you

I have a heart like a child
And my mind's like its mother
Tries to tell it what's right
But my heart just won't bother
It keeps kickin' and screamin'
Plugs its ears it's not listening
When it sees what it wants
My heart throws a tantrum
(My heart throws a tantrum)

My heart thinks it gets to be the boss of me
It leads me places I shouldn't go
No no no no no no no
When I follow, there's always tragedy
I try to hold my ground but
It's like I'm hollow

I've been tryin' to led you lead me
All the way down that road
Show me things that
My mind just
Cannot conceive of
And it was wonderful, wonderful, beautiful, beautiful, lovely night
You showed me this passionate, and terrifying love

I have a heart like a child
And my mind's like its mother
Tries to tell it what's right
But my heart just won't bother
It keeps kickin' and screamin'
Plugs its ears it's not listening
When it sees what it wants
My heart throws a tantrum
(My heart throws a tantrum)
