My heart takes a beating when I'm around you
It beats twice as fast as it's suppose to do
It's aching and breaking and beaten black and blue
Yes my heart takes a beating when I'm around you
My heart still wants you though it is unwise
'Cause a heart that's rejected accepts no compromise
Still it is determined to get through to you
But it takes another beating but that's nothing new (Yes)
(Yes) My heart takes a beating when I'm around you
It beats twice as fast as it's suppose to do
It's aching and breaking and beaten black and blue
Yes my heart takes a beating when I'm around you
My heart beats loudly I can barely hear
A pounding lump in my throat beating drums in my ear
It's calling out to you little do you heed
So it takes another beating this time it will bleed (Yes)
Yes my heart takes a pounding that it can't sustain
It bleeds for a while comes out swinging again (Yes)
