Says My Heart - Original - Billie Holiday

Fall in love, fall in love

Says my heart

It’s romance, take a chance

Says my heart

But each time that I’m

Almost in your arms

This old schoolteacher brain of mine

Keeps bringing in false alarms

Then my head rolls instead

And I’m wise

To the scheme of that gleam

In your eyes

So I kiss and run

But the moment we’re apart

«Oh!

you fool, that was love»

Says my heart

Then my head rolls instead

And I’m wise

To the scheme of that gleam

In your eyes

So I kiss and run

But the moment we’re apart

«Oh!

you fool, that was love»

Says my heart

It wasn’t the moon, it wasn’t the stars

«That was love!», says my heart
