| If ever I wanted to know
|
| The word that occurred on the street
|
| I’d just listen to the heartbeat
|
| To the rhythm of the heartbeat
|
| If ever I wanted to go
|
| And trick a victory out of defeat
|
| I’d just listen to the heartbeat
|
| To the rhythm of the heartbeat
|
| Then if someone that you don’t know
|
| Should give you the big hello
|
| Well, you’ll never get shaken
|
| Never get taken if you listen to the heartbeat
|
| To the rhythm of the heartbeat
|
| Whatever you want to do
|
| You’d do it better if you did it as you
|
| No, don’t follow your nose
|
| Where the sun never goes
|
| Instead of listening to the heartbeat
|
| The rhythm driven by the heartbeat
|
| Whoa, listen to my heartbeat
|
| Whoa, take a lesson from my heartbeat
|
| No no no, there’s no messing with my heartbeat
|
| Whoa whoa whoa, what a blessing is a heartbeat
|
| When it gets sentimental and slow
|
| Don’t fight it, you might miss a treat
|
| Unless you’re listening to the heartbeat
|
| The heady rhythm of the heartbeat
|
| And then when the tempo says 'Go'
|
| And you’re yearning to turn indiscreet
|
| Just keep listening to the heartbeat
|
| The steady rhythm of the heartbeat
|
| Then if somebody turns your head
|
| And edges you onto the bed
|
| Just forget you’re refined
|
| Stop improving your mind
|
| And listen to the heartbeat
|
| To the rhythm of the heartbeat
|
| No, you don’t need a Ph. D
|
| It may be easier than ABC
|
| You don’t have to be smart
|
| You just open your heart
|
| And listen to the heartbeat
|
| I’m gonna give in to the heartbeat
|
| The rhythm driven by the heartbeat
|
| Whoa, listen to my heartbeat
|
| Whoa, take a lesson from my heartbeat
|
| No no no, there’s no messing with my heartbeat
|
| Whoa whoa whoa, what a blessing is a heartbeat
|
| Oh, be still my beating heart, enough’s enough
|
| Heartbeat |
