Wrong Heartbeat - New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, Richard Thompson

Don’t think my love is something that you can play with

I’m not the one to spend the time of day with

You learn to hide love, you lock it up or find it gone

You think you need me, you think you read me

From the beating of my heart

But you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

O you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

You’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

My love is strong

If you should see a tear, you won’t see many

If you should hear me sigh, it’s not for any

If you should greet me as I am walking along

You only want to see just the shell of me

You don’t know the other part

Well, you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat

I said, you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

My love is strong

O you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

O listening to the wrong heartbeat

O listening to the wrong heartbeat

My love is strong

Don’t throw your secrets where men will steal them

You got to hide them, you got to seal them

No matter what you try, you’ll never take my love from me

And if you might think that you can move me

From the beating of my heart

O you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat

You’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

My love is strong

O yes you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

You’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

You’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

My love is strong

You’re, you’re, you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

O listening to the wrong heartbeat

O you’re listening to the wrong heartbeat

My love is strong
