Momma always told me to follow my heart
Not to listen to what others say
Well I never did anyway
He's not the one for me, we need time apart
He's breaking my heart
My friends and I were talking, talking just the other day
They said he shouldnt treat me that way
I knew what they were saying was the truth
Then I asked then what should I do
They said
CHORUS:
Say goodbye in a letter
What does the heart know anyway?
If you tell him in person, you know you'll un-pack your things and stay
You gave him the best years of your life
Now it's time to move away
So say good bye in a letter
What does the heart know anyway?
Later on down the road I met met a man who was true
We made us a family, that was exacly what I wanted to do
He gives me love, what more could a girl ask for?
oh oh oh oh
Now , my daughter came to me today
she said she needed me
Her man hasn't been treating her in the right way
she asked if I understood
I said i was there once...and I asked her if she could
Say goodbye in a letter
What does the heart know anyway?
If you tell him in peron, you know you'll un-pack your things and stay
You gave him the best years of your life
Now it's time to move away
So say good bye in a letter
What does the heart know any way
Yes say goodbye in a letter, what does the heart know anyway!
