Heartbeat In The Night

(album: Hi-Fi - 1990)

Another heart is breaking tonight.
Somebody's world is shaking tonight.
Let's talk about love, what's it worth?
You feel the joy and you take the hurt.
Another heart is breaking tonight.

Somebody's playing with fire tonight.
Somebody loving a liar tonight.
Let's talk about truth, what's the price?
Your soul is all that you sacrifice.
Somebody's playing with fire tonight.
Before you step on out, you'd better step back.
Before you give it up, give it some slack.

[Chorus:]
Love is like a heartbeat in the night, oh, it's a hunger.
And the midnight shakes and it takes your breath away.
Oooh, it's a heartbeat in the night pounding like thunder.
You gotta hold on 'til the darkness meets the day.

Somebody's lost and lonely tonight.
Somebody's chance is only tonight.
Let's talk about trust, what's it cost?
You give it all and they rip it off.
Somebody's lost and lonely tonight.
Well, before you step on out, you'd better step back.
Before you give it up, give it some slack.

[Instrumental followed by Chorus with ad libs]
