I'll take a long vacation
I need a change of scenery
I'll see the sights, go out at night
There'll be no time for your memory

I'll get a new apartment
Make friends that don't know who you are
'Cause when I'm through, I'm really through
If I can just convince my heart

Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart, oh, my heart still belongs to you

I'll call some old phone numbers
And I'll throw a party for a start
I've made a vow, it's all over now
If I can just convince my heart

Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
?Cause my heart, oh, my heart still belongs to you

Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
Oh, my heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart, oh, oh, oh my heart still belongs to you
