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 two-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
