“Heartbeat Song”
By Kelly Clarkson
Chorus
This is my heartbeat song
And I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot
How to turn it up
Up, up, up all night long
Up, up all night long
You, where the hell did you come from
You’re a different, different kind of fun
And I'm so used to feeling numb
Now, I got pins and needles on my tongue
Anticipating what’s to come
Like a finger on a loaded gun
I can feel it rising
Temperature inside me
Haven't felt it for a long time
(Chorus)
I wasn’t even gonna go out
But I never would have had a doubt
If I don’t know where I’d be know
Your hands on my hips
And my kiss on your lips
So I could do this for a long time
(Chorus)
Until tonight I only dreamed about you
I can’t believe I ever breathe without you
Baby you make me feel alive and brand new
Bring it one more time, one more time
(Chorus)
