Heart's Going Out of Its Mind
Carly Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, we'll see what happens
I'm a three date make him wait
Wait for a reaction
But you make my heart go thump, tha-thump, thump
Like nothing else
Who am I, what the hell
Boy, whatever you're selling I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind
Boy, whatever you're doing keep doing it
My lipstick baby you can ruin it
If I look a little crazy, that's fine
My heart's going out of its mind
You just said hi, now I'm high
And I'm not smokin' nothin'
All you did was touch my hand
Let me tell you something
You make my heart go beat, ba-beat, beat
Right out my chest
I'll admit, I confess, yeah you got me, I'm a mess
Boy, whatever you're selling I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind
Boy, whatever you're doing keep doing it
My lipstick baby you can ruin it
If I look a little crazy, that's fine
My heart's going out of its mind
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its, heart's going out of its
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its mind
You make my heart go thump, tha-thump, thump
Like nothing else
Who I am, what the hell
I don't recognize myself
Boy, whatever you're selling, I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind
Boy, whatever you're selling I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind
Boy, whatever you're doing keep doing it
My lipstick baby you can ruin it
If I look a little crazy, that's fine
My heart's going out of its mind
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its, heart's going out of its
(Out of its, out of its)

I'm an ease in, count to ten
I take my time entering relationships
Yeah, we'll see what happens
I'm open to whatever may happen
I'm a three date make him wait
I like to wait a few dates before getting intimate
Wait for a reaction
I want to gauge his feelings before showing mine
But you make my heart go thump, tha-thump, thump
You make my heart race and skip a beat
Like nothing else
No one else has had this effect on me
Who am I, what the hell
I'm surprised and confused by my intense feelings
I don't recognize myself
This is unlike me to feel this way
Boy, whatever you're selling I'm buying it
I'm completely enthralled by you
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
I feel like I'm losing control, but I don't mind
There's something in the air tonight
There's a sense of excitement and anticipation
My heart's going out of its mind
My heart is racing with emotion
My lipstick baby you can ruin it
I don't care if my appearance is messed up by you
If I look a little crazy, that's fine
I don't mind appearing foolish in front of you
You just said hi, now I'm high
Just your presence is intoxicating
And I'm not smokin' nothin'
This feeling is completely natural
All you did was touch my hand
Simple gestures from you have a huge impact
Let me tell you something
I have to express how I feel
You make my heart go beat, ba-beat, beat
You make my heart race and skip a beat
Right out my chest
It feels like my heart is going to burst
I'll admit, I confess, yeah you got me, I'm a mess
I'm vulnerable and falling for you
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its, heart's going out of its
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its mind
My heart is overwhelmed and infatuated
Boy, whatever you're doing keep doing it
Please don't stop, I'm hooked
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its, heart's going out of its
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its mind
My heart is completely consumed by you
