Matters Of The Heart Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

Broken heart, bloodshot stare 

Signs of a fool who cared too much 

Now she's gone and he can't remember how 

To live without her touch 

Hopin' to die but surely livin' to tell

There is nothing a fool won't get used to 

After all the whisky and the wisdom 

He could swallow, he thought

He could hardly do more than pretend 

Though she knew in her heart 

That his love was alive 

When it comes to matters of the heart 

There is nothing a fool won't get used to 

Now of all the things love teaches 

All the ways that it opens our eyes 

None more profound than the lesson he learned 

The day she walked out of his life 

Well when the road gets too narrow 

It's then he remembers her smile 

And he sees these words forming on her lips 

Across a river of tears he once cried

When it comes to matters of the heart 

There is nothing, you won't get used to 

Ooh nothing a fool won't get used to 

Hey baby
