Lyrics The Hooters

The Hooters

Hanging On A Heartbeat

You change your mind like the weather

You promise sunshine but it looks like rain

A simple "no" would be better

But you just keep me hanging on again

Hanging on a heartbeat, its a hot seat

You better give it up and leave it behind

'Cause you can't waste time while you're hanging on a heartbeat

I lay my cards out on the table

But you've got aces hidden up your sleeve

I'm ready, willing, and able

But I'm a joker when it's time to leave

How many nights have I wasted

How many dreams have I lost in vain

Oh, but I like the little I've tasted

Don't leave me hanging on a heartbeat

My heart is lying here naked

All that I ask is you believe in me

We've got the power to make it

We'll say good-night or we can let it be

Hanging on a heartbeat, its a hot seat

You better give it up and leave it behind

'Cause you can't waste time while you're hanging on a heartbeat
