Notes
"My Heart Can't Tell You No" is a song written by Simon Climie and Dennis Morgan. It was first recorded and released by British pop-rock artist Rod Stewart on his 1988 album Out of Order. Originally intended as a song for country artist Barbara Mandrell, Stewart ultimately claimed the song for himself. It was later covered in 2011 by American country artist Sara Evans and released as the second single from her sixth studio album, Stronger.
I don't want you To come round here no more I beg you for mercy You don't know how strong My weakness is Or how much it hurts me Cause when you said it over with him I want to believe it's true So I let you in knowing tomorrow I'm gonna wake up missing you Wake up missing you When the one you love's In love with someone else Don't you know it's torture I mean it's a living hell No matter how I try to convince myself This time I won't lose control One look in your blue eyes And suddenly my heart can't tell you no I don't want you To call me up no more Saying you need me You're crazy if you think Just half your love Could ever please me Still I want to hold you, touch you When you look at me that way There's only one solution I know You gotta stay away from me Stay away from me When the one you love's In love with someone else Don't you know it's torture I mean it's a living hell No matter how I try to convince myself This time I won't lose control One look in your sad eyes And suddenly my heart can't tell you no My Heart can't tell you no I don't want you To come round here no more I beg you for mercy You don't know how strong My weakness is Or how much it hurts me Cause when you say its over with him I want to believe it's true So I let you in knowing tomorrow I'm gonna wake up missing you Wake up missing you When the one you love's In love with someone else Don't you know it's torture I mean it's a living hell, a living hell When the one you love's In love with someone else Don't you know it's torture I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
