I Think I Need A New Heart Lyrics
Time stands still
All I can feel is the time standing still
As you put down the keys
And say: "Don't call me please,"
While the radio plays
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
You've lied, too
But it's a sin that I can't tell the truth
'Cause it all comes out wrong
Unless I put it in a song
So the radio plays
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
Just for you
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
'Cause I always say "I love you,"
When I mean: "Turn out the light,"
And I say: "Let's run away,"
When I just mean: "Stay the night,"
But the words you want to hear
You will never hear from me
I'll never say: "Happy anniversary,"
Never stay to say: "Happy anniversary,"
So I think I need a new heart
Give me time...
All I can feel is the time standing still
As you put down the keys
And say: "Don't call me please,"
While the radio plays
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
But it's a sin that I can't tell the truth
'Cause it all comes out wrong
Unless I put it in a song
So the radio plays
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
Just for you
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
When I mean: "Turn out the light,"
And I say: "Let's run away,"
When I just mean: "Stay the night,"
But the words you want to hear
You will never hear from me
I'll never say: "Happy anniversary,"
Never stay to say: "Happy anniversary,"
So I think I need a new heart

it's in a commercial now. you can find better music in commercials than on so-called music television nowadays.
no, really? ^_^
This song is about someone who overcommits to the people he bangs.
I Think I Need a New Heart cause I always say I love you when I mean turn out the light and I say let's run away when I just mean stay the night
pretty much says it all -- he says I love you when he really means lets fuck.
This song is about my ex-boyfriend. A guy who always ends up in relationships despite the fact that he hates them. And tells girls he loves them without really meaning to. And then dumps them after a month to six weeks when he: a) realizes he doesn't really love her, and b) realizes he's already falling for someone else.
Asshole. But it's such a catchy song.
I don't think it's 'but it's a sin that I can't tell the truth' but 'but it's assumed that I can't tell the truth'.
And it's about a break up that's happening because he can't say what he means and mean what he says. He wishes it could be different 'just for you, I think I need a new heart', but can't help saying what the other wants to hear... However, he can't do commitment, but he hopes that'll change 'give me time'.
I resonate with this song a lot. It's not about trying to get someone into bed, but trying to say what they want to make them happy and then realising you can't live up to it...
Plus this song makes me bop round the room in my pants.
This has to be one of my favourite MF songs. I cant keep still when I hear the upbeat tempo... its just so catchy!
I think it's about a breakup. As usual.
I actually always thought this was about someone who was hurt in a previous relationship, and still had emotional baggage. By saying that he needs a new heart, it's saying that he wants to be fresh for the new person.
haha ^ I feel so stupid now, I didn't get it until now, thanks bugoff I think you put it perfectly.
" I always say I love you when I mean turn out the light "
