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 is gonna leave it alone
He was everything I should have of wanted
Oh, even Daddy really thought so too
But my heart just wasn't having it
After all them things (?), it lead me back to you

I have the heart of a child
And my mind's like it's mother
Tries to tell it what's right
But my heart just won't bother
It keeps kicking and screaming
Plugs it's ears, it's not listening
When it sees what it wants
My heart throws a tantrum
My heart throws a tantrum

Yeahhh
My heart thinks it gets to be the boss of me (yeah)
And leads me places I shouldn't go (a 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
But then
There have been times I let you lead me
All the way down that road
You show me things that my mind just cannot conceive
of
And it was wonderful wonderful beautiful beautiful
lovely
You showed me this passionate and terrifying love

I have the heart of a child
And my mind's like it's mother
Tries to tell it what's right
But my heart just won't bother
It keeps kicking and screaming
Plugs it's ears, it's not listening
When it sees what it wants
My heart throws a tantrum
My heart throws a tantrum

It kicks and it screams and
Throws this tantrum all the time
I just tell the world to do sometimes
It kicks and it screams and plugs its ears, it wont
listen
My heart what to do with his heart
I wish that i could just
Tell it what to do
But it wont listen to me
It's pullin a tantrum, oh yeah yeah
