[by Little Feat]
Heart, don't beat so hard this time
Let her go, you know it's done without a doubt.
Don't fall back into that same "I'm all alone" and sit and pine,
She's just another thing we could learn to live without.
Caught up in that fiery passion of the moment
Hopin' that love was here to stay.
Looked like true romance, well worth takin' a chance,
Ah, but then the love just slowly slipped away.
I let her changin' heart and her dissatisfaction
Manifest itself in my confusion.
I was tryin' to make some sense of that volatile attraction
When her haughty disposition make me lose my way.
I must admit I spent a fine short moment
Fightin' to take control, not willing to take that chance.
I thought I couldn't let go,
Sentimental fool you know,
A casualty of big romance
(chorus)
Heart don't beat so hard this time
There's another lover waiting 'round another paradigm.
These tears we cry are just a waste of water, don'cha know,
You've got to learn to see when something's finally gone
And just let it go.
It seemed like every time you found the real thing
First thing you know you're picking yourself up off the floor.
Seems like you just get started
Then you're first-degree downhearted
The next thing you hear is the slammin' of the door.
(chorus)
