Heart Beat
Humble Pie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat, why does a love's kiss stay in my memory?
Riddle-dee pat

I know that new love thrills me
I know what will be, will be
Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Riddle-dee-pat

And sing to me love stories




Reveal to me love's glory
Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
