I took a deep breath and I just stood there staring

It could have been stupid but I was past caring

It all seemed to depend on one little kiss

Oh but who would have thought it would turn out like this

And if I had I'd still have taken the risk

Please pick me up, cos I'm falling apart

That's why I try

Hard not to start

These affairs of the heart

These affairs of the heart



Out in the big world, it was coming on morning

The newsreader on breakfast tv was still yawning

An h-bomb in Taiwan, a sex-bomb in Spain

If you spill that red wine, white will get out the stain

Forget the mess, baby, when will I see you again

Please pick me up while I'm playing this part

That's why I try

Hard not to start

These affairs of the heart

These affairs of the heart



This movie is paper, it's 2-D, it's see-through

I know what happens cos I saw the preview

This mental fandango could drive me insane

Just me, these six steel strings and you off in Spain

Plainly the rain mainly falls down my drain

Please pick me up and then pull me apart

That's why I try

Hard not to start

These affairs of the heart

These affairs of the heart
