Hanging On a Heartbeat

Hanging on a heartbeat

Hanging on a heartbeat

Hanging on a heartbeat

You know you can't waste time when you're hanging on a heartbeat

You change your mind like the weather

You promise sunshine but it looks like rain

A simple no would be better

But you just keep me hanging on again

Hanging on a heartbeat

This ain't no quiz game, you know

Hanging on a heartbeat

Come on, girl, you move way too slow

Hanging on a heartbeat

It's a hot seat, you gotta give it up, let it go

'Cause life's too short to be hanging on a heartbeat

I lay my cards on the table

But you've 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 hanging on a heartbeat

Hanging on a heartbeat

My heart is lying 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

Hanging on a heartbeat

Can't you see how hard I've tried?

Hanging on a heartbeat

Well, can't you see the fire in my eyes?

Hanging on a heartbeat

It's a hot seat, you better pick it up or leave it behind

'Cause you can't waste time when you're hanging on a heartbeat
