Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh, the state of my heart
You know we used to talk for hours
But now we have nothing to say
I guess we're gonna throw it all away
Ooh-ooh...
We have all of the cards on the table
Two hearts with no passion to play
I guess we'll understand it all someday
Ooh, baby
Round and round we go and where we'll stop
We just never know
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way no more
I guess it's time to close the door
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
I thought that we'd go on forever
Hello seems to echo goodbye
There must have been a thousand times we tried
Oh, baby
You say just friends we'll be eternally
That won't work for me
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way
I guess it's just the state of my heart
Wishing there was yesterday
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way
I guess it's just the state of my heart
All is there in love, they say
(Sax Solo)
(Repeat with Ad-Libs and Fade)
I guess it's just the state of my heart
It's just the state of, the state of my heart
Ooh, the state of my heart
You know we used to talk for hours
But now we have nothing to say
I guess we're gonna throw it all away
Ooh-ooh...
We have all of the cards on the table
Two hearts with no passion to play
I guess we'll understand it all someday
Ooh, baby
Round and round we go and where we'll stop
We just never know
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way no more
I guess it's time to close the door
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
I thought that we'd go on forever
Hello seems to echo goodbye
There must have been a thousand times we tried
Oh, baby
You say just friends we'll be eternally
That won't work for me
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way
I guess it's just the state of my heart
Wishing there was yesterday
I guess it's just the state of my heart
I don't wanna feel this way
I guess it's just the state of my heart
All is there in love, they say
(Sax Solo)
(Repeat with Ad-Libs and Fade)
I guess it's just the state of my heart
It's just the state of, the state of my heart
