Heartbeat

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, yeah

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

Okay

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, yeah
