A Heartbeat

Every night I'm staring out my window wondering what to do.

I ask myself what you would think about me if you only knew

That I'm looking for a little more than a drink and a walk up the street,

And I've got something more in mind when I get you in the passenger seat.

I've got a heartbeat baby a heartbeat baby that belongs to you

I've got a heartbeat baby a heartbeat baby and there's nothing I can do

When I was young my mama sat me down and told me how it goes

You'll walk the world but most of what you're looking for is under your nose.

Now I've spent plenty of time getting lost in the cities where the hours disappear

And I've got something more that's burning up my neck and pounding in my ears.

One cup of coffee, two shots of whiskey neat, ambulance sirens blasting down

A side street, here you come a walking like a punch right to the gut but I guess

Until I tell you then I have to keep my mouth shut.

And listen to the heartbeat baby a heartbeat baby that belongs to you

I've got a heartbeat baby a heartbeat baby and there's nothing I can do.
