Mariah wrote the song “There Goes My Heart” with producer 7 Aurelius, who also worked on the track “Subtle Invitation” from the Charmbracelet album. “There Goes My Heart” was included as a bonus track on a limited edition re-release of the album which was released in 2003. “We did it in the Bahamas,” Mariah told MTV. “It's like one of those live instrumentation songs and it's kind of like a feel good R&B record.”
You know me well
We go too far back
How could anyone else compete with that
So I just can't help feelin' sentimental
Bout things in our past
We promise to keep it casual
But at times that can be so difficult
This relationship's so untypical
And I can't understand
Tell me why, tell me why
First you love me, then you leave me
Then I'm falling back in your arms
There's no conclusion
It's so deceiving
Cause I get taken in by your charms
Even though I try not to bend
There goes my heart again
Baby why can't we be just friends
It's a mess but we still pretend
Any fool could foresee the end
But there goes my heart again
When I feel your stare
Catching me off guard
Boy it's just not fair
Cause you know for sure
How to lure me in
With that magnetic smile
Tell me why, tell me why
First you love me, then you leave me
Then I'm falling back in your arms
There's no conclusion
It's so deceiving
Cause I get taken in by your charms
Even though I try not to bend
There goes my heart again
Baby why can't we be just friends
It's a mess but we still pretend
Any fool could foresee the end
But there goes my heart again
First you love me, then you leave me
Then I'm falling back in your arms
There's no conclusion
It's so deceiving
Cause I get taken in by your charms
Even though I try not to bend
There goes my heart again
