Janis Ian
Heart Skip Too Many Beats
[Chorus]
When a heart skips too many beats
When a heart skips too many beats
When a heart skips too many beats
Can't sleep, can't sleep

[Verse 1]
You say you love me and the truth takes time
Think I need some time away
What kind of truth comes out of lies?
What kind of love comes out of pain?
And now my heart's too hot
I can't start, can't stop
I got no spark, no shot
I can't breath, can't breath

[Chorus]
When a heart skips too many beats
When a heart skips too many beats
When a heart skips too many beats
I can't sleep

[Refrain 1]
Never knowing
How you're feeling
How much loving
How much wheeler-dealing
[Verse 2]
You say you want to be a friend of mine
I think I have too many friends
You say you want to makе it last this time
You know on whom it all depends
And now my hеart's too hot
I can't start, I can't stop

[Refrain 2]
Need to know just
Where you're living
What you're taking
How much you'll be giving

[Bridge]
I think I need a doctor, 'cause my heart keeps skipping a beat

[Instrumental]

[Refrain 3]
Truth and passion
Melt with time
Faith and reason
On the firing line

[Refrain 4]
No more treason
No more lies
Help me trust you
Let me love you tonight
[Outro]
(When a heart skips) I can't sleep
(When a heart beats) I can't breathe
(When a heart beats) I can't sleep
(When a heart beats) I can't breathe
(When a heart beats) I can't sleep
