Kim Carnes
One Beat At A Time
No sad songs
No tears for you
Don't even have to sleep with the light on
I can see all right

No Coltrane, no midnight blue
No letters of regret, no poems
No wine, no cigarettes
To remind me of you

I'll take these shoes outside the door
And take this heartache right up on the floor
I'm dancin', twirlin' all by myself
Every heartache unwinds one beat at a time

I'm risin' high as the sky
I want to trust someone
Let my hair fall down in the fadin' sun
Won't let tonight pass me by

I'll take this pain behind the door
Take this heartache right out on the floor
I'm dancin', twirlin' all by myself
Every heartache unwinds one beat at a time

I'm dancin', twirlin' all by myself
Every heartache unwinds one beat at a time
Every heartache, baby
Every heartache
Every heartache, baby
Every heartache
Every heartache unwinds one beat at a time
