My Heart Was Set On You Lyrics by Sutton Foster

Wish

2009

My mother told me to break up with you
She didn't think you were good enough to take this prize
She didn't see any sparkle in your eyes
She said you acted like a boy, and you wore too much corderoy
But my heart was set on you
My heart was set on you
Besides, her taste was lousy, and she never had a clue
And my heart was set on you
My roommate begged me not to be with you
She couldn't stand the way you always left some toothpaste in the sink
She was amazed at your capacity not to think
She said your head was in a cloud, and you talked way too loud
But my heart was set on you
My heart was set on you
I figured she was jealous that I'd found someone new
And my heart was set on you
It's a gamble
Falling in love is sort of like Russian Roulette
Yet in spite of all their warnings
I just knew you were a solid bet!
A psychic swore you weren't the one for me
She couldn't find you in my aura as I sat their in her room
She said I shouldn't play the bride to your groom
I got her message loud and clear
And shoved it out the other ear
'cause my heart was set on you
My heart was set on you
Why would I believe a bunch of Tarot cards were true
When my heart was set on you?
It was terrible to face them when it all fell apart
When I was the last to know
Yet there they were to catch the pieces of my breaking heart
With the grace not to say
I told you so
And now, to see you after all this time
I'm reminded of the clarity I had back then
Will I ever trust that feeling again?
I was so willing to fall
But it's nice to recall how my...
I'll always count myself among the lucky few
To have loved
The way I loved
When my heart was set on you
