[Instrumental]

[Chorus: DeBarge]
The heart is not so smart
The heart is not so smart
Always seems to find
The heart is not so smart

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus: El DeBarge]
They say trust your emotions
Oh, oh, your feelings inside
Oh, oh, but when it comes to love
Sometimes it's better that the heart is not your guide
Because the heart is not so smart
The heart is not so smart

[Chorus: El DeBarge]
The heart is not so smart
Can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
Goes where it should not go

[Instrumental]
[Chorus: DeBarge, El DeBarge]
The heart is not so smart
Whoa-oh, whoa, oh oh
The heart is not so smart, no no
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa
The heart is not so smart
You can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
No no no no
The heart is not so smart
Whoa-oh, whoa, oh oh
The heart is not so smart, no no
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa
The heart is not so smart
Can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
No no no no
The heart is not so smart
Whoa-oh, whoa, oh oh
The heart is not so smart, no no
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa
The heart is not so smart

[Outro: DeBarge, El DeBarge]
The heart is not so smart
Whoa-oh, whoa, oh oh
The heart is not so smart, no no
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
The heart is not so smart
You can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
No no no no
The heart is not so smart
Whoa-oh, whoa, oh oh
The heart is not so smart, no no
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa
The heart is not so smart
Can't always trust it, no
The heart is not so smart
No no no no
