Another summer, another vacation is over
A September morning with the sun and the smell of the clover
Down by the gate, we sit and we watch all our friends go by
And pretend we don't hear the bell that rings through the summer sky
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
Heartbeat, heartbeat, why do you fail 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 will end in tears
I need a lover when love's such a dangerous place to be
Oh, if we were meant for each other
Then why won't you answer me?
Don't keep me waiting, you know that I long to be by your side
We could even be together tonight
I was happy with the kisses she gave me
But now there's nothing on earth could save me
Why should I care? I can't have you, oh
Heartbeat, heartbeat, why do you fail 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 will end in tears
Heartbeat, heartbeat, why do you fail 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, why 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)
