1st Verse Sheila says the heart is just a muscle Sheila says the heart is cooled by time Hiding out for years down in these trade winds In the land of coconuts and limes / Chorus I've played this game for too long My life's just one same old song Now marooned for a time on this island I go into and out of the fog And that's why I live with my dog / Instrumental bridge / 3rd Verse Men oh, men oh, oh men I've known too many Deceivers cloaked in clumsy vanity What men lack in love and understanding They make up in stupidity / Chorus But now and then one comes along And lights up my world like a song I am tempted to unleash my interest Yet I put it to you man's best friend There's just one sad old way it can end / Bridge We have our faults But men have only two All that they say All that they do You're a joy and a friend and a guardian Never bored with my sad monologue You're better off with a dog Sheila says the heart's just a muscle Sheila says the heart's just a muscle
