[Verse 1] Another summer, another vacation is over It’s September now with the sun and the smell of the clover Down by the gate, we sit and watch all our friends go by And pretend we don’t hear the bell That rings through the summer sky [Pre-Chorus] I was happy with the kisses she gave me It’s just that happy was all she made me Happy that was, until I saw you [Chorus] Heartbeat, heartbeat What do you bear me now? Oh, you hurt me, desert me, in my darkest hour Heartbeat, heartbeat Why do you keep me here? How could I help but admire her beauty Standing on the line between desire and duty Heartbeat, heartbeat It’ll end in tears, oh [Verse 2] I need a lover, when love’s such dangerous place to be Oh, if we were meant for each other Then why don’t you answer me? Don’t keep me waiting, you know I long to be by your side We could even be together, tonight [Pre-Chorus] I was happy with the kisses she gave me But now there’s nothing on Earth to save me Why should I care? I can’t have you, oh whoa [Chorus] Heartbeat, heartbeat What do you bear me now? Oh, you hurt me, desert me, in my darkest hour Heartbeat, heartbeat Why do you keep me here? How could I help but admire her beauty Standing on the line between desire and duty Heartbeat, heartbeat It’ll end in tears [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] Heartbeat, heartbeat What do you bear me now? Oh, you hurt me, desert me, in my darkest hour Heartbeat, heartbeat Why do you keep me here? How could I help but admire her beauty Standing on the line between desire and duty Heartbeat, heartbeat What do you fail me now? You hurt me, desert me, in my darkest hour Heartbeat, heartbeat Why do you keep me here? How could I help but admire her beauty Standing on the line between desire and duty Heartbeat, heartbeat
