Mind of Its Own

They say love is patient and kind

Peaceful like a river, sweet as red wine

But for us, it went off like dynamite

Just powder in the keg waitin' on your light

Yeah, you got this old thing kickin'

Like a bullet out of a gun

Like shine through an inline engine

A bandit out on the run

Yeah, it's got a funny way about it

It don't quit 'til it gets what it wants

There just ain't no gettin' 'round it

A heart has a mind of its own

I've heard diamonds like hidin' in the rough

Next thing you know, I'm blowin' off some corn to pawnshop Doug

I'm standin' in the courthouse tryna sweet-talk the county judge

I can't say "I do" quick enough

Yeah, you got this old thing kickin'

Like a bullet out of a gun

Like shine through an inline engine

A bandit out on the run

Yeah, it's got a funny way about it

It don't quit 'til it gets what it wants

There just ain't no gettin' 'round it

A heart has a mind of its own, yeah

Yeah, you got this old thing tickin'

Like a time-bomb about to explode

Like two freight trains playin' chicken

Got it racin' like old Casey Jones

Yeah, it's got a funny way about it

It don't quit 'til it gets what it wants

There just ain't no gettin' 'round it

When a heart has a mind of its own

When a heart has a mind of its own
