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
