heartbeat

Lyrics

i don't wanna lose myself in love again, but my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah. i met a little cutie back in sixty-, six, she used to tie you up, and beat you with a walking stick. i said, 'mama, call a doctor you, must be sick!', she told me that's the only way i, get my kicks. i don't wanna lose myself in love again, but my heartbeat keeps on a hammering. i been around the world about a, time and again, i met a little chick in an opium, den. she put a spell on me that'd freeze, a man, i said, 'help me, save me', but she, did it again. i don't wanna lose myself in love again, but my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah, ok. oh, oh, oh, yeah. i met a little lady just yesterday, lord, she loves me in a special way. she put coffee in my tea and she love to say, 'i wanna hold you, i wanna keep you, baby, now don't be afraid'. i don't wanna lose myself in love again, but my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah. i don't wanna lose; i don't wanna lose, i don't wanna lose;, i don't wanna lose myself in love again, yeah. no, no, lord no. i don't wanna lose myself in love again, but my heartbeat, yes my beating heart, my heartbeat keeps on hammering.
