Hanging On A Heartbeat Lyrics - Singles - Hooters

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
