Rhythm Of The Heartbeat - Richard O'Brien

If ever I wanted to know

The word that occurred on the street

I’d just listen to the heartbeat

To the rhythm of the heartbeat

If ever I wanted to go

And trick a victory out of defeat

I’d just listen to the heartbeat

To the rhythm of the heartbeat

Then if someone that you don’t know

Should give you the big hello

Well, you’ll never get shaken

Never get taken if you listen to the heartbeat

To the rhythm of the heartbeat

Whatever you want to do

You’d do it better if you did it as you

No, don’t follow your nose

Where the sun never goes

Instead of listening to the heartbeat

The rhythm driven by the heartbeat

Whoa, listen to my heartbeat

Whoa, take a lesson from my heartbeat

No no no, there’s no messing with my heartbeat

Whoa whoa whoa, what a blessing is a heartbeat

When it gets sentimental and slow

Don’t fight it, you might miss a treat

Unless you’re listening to the heartbeat

The heady rhythm of the heartbeat

And then when the tempo says 'Go'

And you’re yearning to turn indiscreet

Just keep listening to the heartbeat

The steady rhythm of the heartbeat

Then if somebody turns your head

And edges you onto the bed

Just forget you’re refined

Stop improving your mind

And listen to the heartbeat

To the rhythm of the heartbeat

No, you don’t need a Ph. D

It may be easier than ABC

You don’t have to be smart

You just open your heart

And listen to the heartbeat

I’m gonna give in to the heartbeat

The rhythm driven by the heartbeat

Whoa, listen to my heartbeat

Whoa, take a lesson from my heartbeat

No no no, there’s no messing with my heartbeat

Whoa whoa whoa, what a blessing is a heartbeat

Oh, be still my beating heart, enough’s enough

Heartbeat
