Hooters, The - Hanging On A Heartbeat (Original Version) Lyrics






Hanging on a heartbeat
Hanging on a heartbeat
Hanging on a heartbeat
You know you can't waste time when you're 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
This ain't no quiz game you know
Hanging on a heartbeat
Come on girl, you're moving way too slow
Hanging on a heartbeat
It's a hot seat, gotta give it up and let it go
Cause life's too short to be 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

Can't you see how hard I've tried
Hanging on a heartbeat
Can't you see the fire in my eyes
Hanging on a heartbeat
It's a hot seat, gotta give it up and let it go
Cause life's too short to be hanging on a heartbeat

  1. E.... R....

    "Life is uncertain; death is certain."
    R.I.P to a Great Talented Musician and friend
    Glenn Goss was one of the least Judgmental people I ever new.
    I tend to Porcrastinate but when Glenn Agreed
    to a three part interview on my show I new it could
    be his last In he even joked about his own death.
    The title of his hit song Hanging On A Heartbeat is exactly
    what he did his last few months..
