Love Has a Mind of Its Own Lyrics

Think about me and you
Think of all the changes we've
Been through
The laughter an the tears, the
Years together
Little did we both know
When we fell we gave up all control
Though times get hard
We're strong enough to carry on

'Cause
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
You're my heart, you're my home

(I) stayed awake last night
Told myself that this time we were
Through
That passion wasn't pain, my heart
Had changed
But then in the morning light
The feeling cut me like a knife
And then I knew
I couldn't walk away from you
'Cause
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
You're my heart, you're my home

We can drive ourselves so far apart
The world gets in between
Before you know, the distance grows
Till never we lose sight of the dream
But the wonder of it all
Is how love will survive
It never fails to keep us going
It never fails to keep us alive

'Cause
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
You're my heart, you're my home
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
You're my heart, you're my home

What inspired this song?
Genius Answer

Donna and I co-wrote that beautiful song with Michael Omartian. We met Matthew through Michael and I just has an amazing voice. When Donna was in the studio working on the She Works Hard for the Money album, she gave me the track for “Love Has a Mind of Its Own” for me to write the lyrics. From the time of her giving me the track and the day of the recording we had a husband-and-wife disagreement. She went to the studio that day having no idea if I would even show up or whether I had written the lyrics. I used the disagreement as an inspiration, wrote the lyrics, showed up in the studio, handed it to her, and they sang the song.
