What the heart wants

She met him down at the laundry mat
three a.m. on a washing machine they sat
and talked until dawn
he bought her breakfast at a small café
morning turned to the rest of the day
then the day was gone
he thought that she'd surely run away
a fairy tale never started this way, but
(chours)
It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here
a stronger power's pulled to bodies near
nothing on earth can interfere
when love is what the heart wants
They made a wish on the evening star
from a rooftop high above the boulevard
up in the twilight sky
he held her hand, she held her breath
two lonely hearts beating scared to death
of a chance to fly
giving in to the arms of fate
this isn't quite like the plans that they made, but
(repeat chorus x3)
(tag)
oooo
nothing on earth can interfere
when love is
