Heart Wants What It Wants Lyrics
My heart only wants what it wants
What it wants, what it wants 'til it doesn't
I can't promise you love, it was love
It was love, it was love 'til it wasn't, oh
[Verse 1]
Already met a man like you
Already seen all of your mo-o-oves
One step ahead, I'm on to you
I feel nothin' when we're lovin', when we're touchin', so
[Pre-Chorus]
Go ahead and cry a river (Go ahead and cry a river)
You can go and fill the sea (You can go and fill the sea)
Don't you know that you're just a game to me?
[Chorus]
My heart only wants what it wants
What it wants, what it wants 'til it doesn't
I can't promise you love, it was love
It was love, it was love 'til it wasn't, oh
So good 'til I get enough, so good 'til I give it up
So good, but I'm only zonеd on you 'cause
My heart only wants what it wants
What it wants, what it wants 'til it doesn't (Oh)
I'vе done it all to numb the pain
There's just so many ways a heart can break
Can't hold a candle in the rain
I feel nothin' when we're touchin', when we're lovin', so
[Pre-Chorus]
Go ahead and cry a river (Go ahead and cry a river)
You can go and fill the sea (You can go and fill the sea)
Don't you know that you're just a game to me?
[Chorus]
My heart only wants what it wants
What it wants, what it wants 'til it doesn't
I can't promise you love, it was love
It was love, it was love 'til it wasn't (Oh)
So good 'til I get enough, so good 'til I give it up
So good, but I'm only zoned on you 'cause
My heart only wants what it wants
What it wants, what it wants 'til it doesn't
[Post-Chorus]
And it don't want you
You ('Til, 'til, 'til it doesn't)
You
And it don't want you ('Til, 'til, 'til it doesn't)
('Til, 'til, 'til it doesn't)

‘Heart Wants What It Wants’ is about the time in relationships where you fall out of love with your partner. It’s an anthem about wanting what you want and not being apologetic for it. It could be anything you feel conflicted about wanting and not specific to romance… At a place in life after a pandemic where sad songs are of the past, I just want everyone to have a good time.

I remember that I had actually started the song, but I was stuck on the pre-chorus and a couple of other parts. I asked Bonnie [if I could play the song to her] and she was like, I’m obsessed. She moved stuff over – one part over there, another part here. It just made it hit different. I was watching her work like…this is why she’s Bonnie McKee.
