Hangin' on a heartbeat Hangin' on a heartbeat Hangin' on a heartbeat You know you can't waste time when you're hangin' on a heartbeat Hangin' on a heartbeat You change your mind like the weather You promise sunshine but it looks like rain I simply know it'd be better But you just keep me hangin' on again Hangin' on a heartbeat This ain't no quiz game, you know Hangin' on a heartbeat Come on, girl, you're movin' way too slow Hangin' on a heartbeat It's a hot seat, you gotta give it up and let it go Cause life's too short to be hangin' on a heartbeat Hangin' on a heartbeat I lay my cards on the table But you got aces hidden up your sleeve I'm ready, willing and able Ah, but I'm a joker when it's time to leave How many nights have I wasted? How many dreams have I lost in vain? Oh, well, I like the little I've tasted Don't leave me hangin' on a heartbeat Hangin' on a heartbeat My heart is lyin' here naked All that I ask is you believe in me We've got the power to make it Oh, we'll say goodnight or we can let it be Hangin' on a heartbeat Can't you see how hard I'm tryin'? Hangin' on a heartbeat Can't you see how hard I'm tryin'? Hangin' on a heartbeat Can't you see the fire in my eyes? Hangin' on a heartbeat It's a hot seat, you better pick it up and leave it behind Cause you can't waste time when you're hangin' on a heartbeat Oh, well, I like the little I've tasted Don't leave me hangin' on a heartbeat Hangin' on a heartbeat My heart is lyin' here naked All that I ask is you believe in me We've got the power to make it Oh, we'll say goodnight or we can let it be Hangin' on a heartbeat Can't you see how hard I'm tryin'? Hangin' on a heartbeat Can't you see how hard I'm tryin'? Hangin' on a heartbeat Can't you see the fire in my eyes? Hangin' on a heartbeat
