If I Follow My Heart Lyrics

[Intro]
And oh, baby

[Verse]
If I follow my heart
I'm gonna love you (Love you, love you)
And if I follow my tears
I'm gonna leave you (Leave you, leave you)
But if I follow my eyes when it's crying time
I'll be crying too
But if I follow what Mom says
Girl, we'll be true (We will be true)
We will be true (We will be true)

[Verse]
If I follow my heart
I'm gonna love you (Love you, love you)
And if I follow my tears, my tears
I'm gonna leave you (Leave you, leave you)
But if I follow my eyes when it's crying time
I'll be crying too
But if I follow what Mom says
Girl, we'll be true (We will be true)
We will be true, girl (We will be true)

[Musical Interlude]
[Verse]
If I follow my heart
I'm gonna love you (Love you, love you)
And if I follow my tears, my tears
I'm gonna leave you (Leave you, leave you)
But if I follow my eyes when it's crying time
I'll be crying too, oh yeah
But if I follow what Mom says
Girl, we'll be true (We will be true)
We will be true (We will be true)
And we'll and we'll be true (We will be true)
And oh, and oh, yeah (We will be true)
And oh, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
