DeBarge - The Heart Is Not So Smart Lyrics






You know that she is just a heartbreak in disguise
You know that fallin' for the girl is not so wise
But every time your mind wants you to stay away
Your heart just looks the other way

Oh, oh, she's all that you want now
Oh, oh, she's nothin' you need
Oh, oh, but there you go, blame it all on love
You know you should know better

But the heart is not so smart
Can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
Goes where it should not go

Always seems to find
Its way to trouble, no
The heart is not so smart
Oh, no, oh, no

The heart's been broken
It's been bruised and it's been burned
So after that you think a lesson might be learned
But it keeps fallin' for the same lines every time
Sometimes the heart can be so blind

Oh, oh, and when you discover
Oh, oh, she's tellin' you lies
Oh, oh, well, don't you know
That the heart is always last to realize

Because the heart is not so smart
Can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
Goes where it should not go

Always seems to find
Its way to trouble, no
The heart is not so smart
Oh, no

Oh, they say trust your emotions
Oh, oh, your feelings inside
Oh, oh, but when it comes to love
Sometimes it's better that the heart is not your guide

Because the heart is not so smart
The heart is not so smart
The heart is not so smart
Can't always trust it, no

The heart is not so smart
Goes where it should not go
Always seems to find
Its way to trouble, no
The heart is not so smart

The heart is not so smart
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The heart is not so smart
No, no, no, no

The heart is not so smart
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The heart is not so smart, no, no
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

The heart is not so smart
You can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
No, no, no, no

The heart is not so smart
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The heart is not so smart, no, no
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa

The heart is not so smart
Can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
No, no, no, no

The heart is not so smart
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The heart is not so smart

DeBarge The Heart Is Not So Smart Comments
  1. N.... B....

    Am an old soul, such music raises my vibrations!!!! bless

  2. S.... J....

    Every time I sang this Song in my head . My heart would go back to that jerk. And what happen he broke my heart over and over again. I couldn't function without him. I felt like a shell . So I took him back . But now I'm not listening anymore . Therefore im going to be strong . I told him don't ever phone or text me again . Being intuitive I know when he is in need . I pick up his feelings. But I abosuletly refuse this time . I'm keeping my heart right here. He is just not worth it.

  3. P.... O....

    Best Debarge Song. Great Memories of my childhood

    P.... O....

    Paul Oloo kweli kabsa bro

  4. H.... O....

    The best song ever in the world, no less no more

  5. O.... o....

    who is listening to this love jam in sep 2019

  6. N.... �....

    great track from a great album,,one of the first i bought on cd nearly 33 years ago. how time flies.

  7. R.... P....

    great rhythms. reminds me of being on the beach in the Caribbean

  8. L.... O....

    This song will always cherished even in ages to come. I so much like it

  9. G.... B....

    Masterpiece

  10. J.... B....

    This is my favorite song from DeBarge and will always be.

  11. D.... B....

    this song went to #17 on the adult contemporary charts in 1986!!!

  12. H.... U....

    Ya kool song

  13. m.... m....

    Music of all ages - still here for Debarge!

  14. D.... M....

    My heart is not so smart! 😥Always finds it's way to trouble!💔

  15. N.... M....

    The heart not so smart...

  16. B.... 5....

    this song has similar message with Easy Lover from Phil Collins no?

  17. M.... M....

    Lovely song very meaningful. The heart is not so smart after all.

  18. T.... M....

    The words are put together so beautifully in this song!

  19. I.... O....

    Great song. I love soul music

  20. J.... W....

    nice nice song! one of my old favourites

  21. S.... ....

    Diane Warren is my #1 favorite pop songwriter of all time.

  22. P.... K....

    just to quote tupac "ya fuckin wit the wrong nigga"

  23. J.... W....

    That lady Margaret Lassiter is mean to me but my stupid mom Rita Walker keeps going over there and what's even more annoying is that she keeps bragging about Margaret Lassiter doing nice things for me. The people that do the most for you can make your life miserable. It's like having a bunch of money you can have all the money in the world and still be miserable

  24. J.... W....

    This song makes me think of my mom she keeps on going to that black lady Margaret Lassiter's house when she knows that lady is nothing but trouble my mom says we're not going back over there but watch we are going to be back over there it's stupid to go over there when she knows that Margaret Lassiter is nothing but a lying troublemaker. Margaret Lassiter is so nosey and mean and unfair to me everything that happens she always blames me.

    J.... W....

    My heart is broken right now

  25. R.... P....

    I wonder if Koji Kondo got inspired by this song to compose the Super Mario Brothers over world theme.

  26. R.... P....

    For some reason, the intro reminds me of the Super Mario Brothers theme.

  27. L.... ....

    A unsung classic by this timeless group! Peace!

  28. R.... ....

    I listened to this on cassette tapes back in the day.

  29. t.... a....
