[Verse 1] How to see the sun go down
Is a heart made of gold?
From the land, little children watch it burn
Fortune favors the cold

[Chorus] People tell me: "Boy, you got lucky!"
But I feel about as lucky as a snowman in the spring

[Refrain] Mind over matter; head over heart
Love's a terrible thing

[Solo] [Chorus] People tell me: "Boy, you dodged a bullet!"
But if only it had hit me, then I'd know the peace it brings

[Refrain] It's just mind over matter; head over heart
Love's a terrible thing

Out on the water, hear the angels sing:
"Love's a terrible thing!"
