Another summer, another vacation is over
A September now 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, what do you bear 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'll end in tears

I need a lover when love is such dangerous place to be
Oh if we were meant for each other then why don't you answer me
Don't keep me waitin', 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

Heartbeat, heartbeat, what do you bear 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, it'll end in tears

Heartbeat, heartbeat, what do you bear 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, what do you bear 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
