Heartbeat
Compact Disco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You passed before me, my mind promptly stopped,
You came toward me, my heart almost popped,
You flashed your smile and I felt weak in my knees.
(That?s your effect on me)

By flashing that smile you?ve just made my day,
And then my legs started going your way,
I leant to your ears and asked for your name.

You-You said: ?It?s Angel, babe.?

Chorus:
All you had to say: ?It?s Angel, babe.?
My heartbeat was like ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

She opened her heart and I saw my peace,
Harmony in my life, my destiny.
She smiled at me, I know I was lost again.
(That?s her effect on me)

By flashing that smile she's just made my day,
So again I started going her way,

I wanted her one more time to say her name.
And she said: ?It?s Angel, babe.?
