HEARTBEATS Lyrics

Your heart's beating baby and that's all I really need in a wife

You're not driving me crazy, and you've got your own secret life

My friends keep telling me you're gonna leave me flat black broke

I told this to my analyst, and these were the words he spoke

That ring around your finger ain't eternity bonded to bliss

No circle of enchantment kept alive by a hot wet kiss

And if you're ever thinking that you've had enough of this

Just go wishing for another and you just might get your wish

I remembered all the others some were friends and some were lovers divine

But none of them were thinking they'd be drinking here at closing time

Michele, Laura, Maria, Suzie, Paula, Misty, Jess and Flo

They were only weekend lovers, Monday morning, they just had to go

Your heart's beating baby, I can hear it when I check your pulse

It sounds like an Appalachian three quarter time bluegrass waltz

My friends keep telling me I shouldn't drink, write songs, and smoke

I told this to my analyst and these were the words he spoke

That ring around your finger ain't eternity bonded to bliss

No circle of enchantment kept alive by a hot wet kiss

And if you're ever thinking that you've had enough of this

Just go wishing for another and you just might get your wish

I remembered all the love songs, the hate hymns, and the Friday night blues

The sweet poetic rhymes that spoke of lifetimes of nothing to lose

Melinda, Cary, Sally, Crystal, Rachael, Kelly and Daniel

I got to go to heaven, cause I know I'd meet them there in hell

Your heart's beating baby, and that's how I know you're still the one

Like a drum beat vibrating and mating with the rising sun

My friends keep telling me I ought to do what I love to do

I fired my analyst; I only want to be with you
