You conjure up your courage
And you finally make the telephone call
You get a busy signal
Else it rings and no-one answers at all
And then your mind begins imagining things
That could or couldn't be so
I know the feeling that you're feeling
It's a feeling that I'm feeling
And I want you to know
I'm gonna teach my heart
To bend instead of breaking
Teach myself
To lean and not to fall
Teach my heart
To bend instead of breaking
I've taken all I can take
And that's all
I'm gonna teach my heart
To bend instead of breaking
Teach myself
To lean and not to fall
Teach my heart
To bend instead of breaking
I've taken all I can take
And that's all
