[Verse 1]
Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned

[Pre-Chorus]
He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round

[Chorus]
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

[Verse 2]
Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance

[Pre-Chorus]
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

[Chorus]
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

[Pre-Chorus]
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

[Chorus]
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known (4x)
