Graham Parker & The Rumour - The Beating of Another Heart lyrics

She comes from the hardest town they build you up to let you down and leave you with an armour hard as steel It's not the chaos or the heat or the noises from the street but something inside she has to beat that shoots out a nerve causes judgements to swerve and makes her feel that something must be wrong She'll attempt to resist and pretend it don't exist when it does But if ever her defence drop love takes a shot pop Baby you can't stop The beating of another heart The beating of another heart yeah Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart All the steps we seem to take are sometimes stairways to escape from All the things that were supposed to come And there's a threat when letting go Showing things she'll never show but I won't give in now I know as I ask a friend how on earth can I send a little bit of me to her She'll attempt to resist and pretend I don't exist when I do But if ever her defence drop love takes a shot pop Baby you can't stop The beating of another heart The beating of another heart yeah Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart The pounding goes on forever at night when we are here together They say that people get too clever for love but I know But if ever her defence drop love takes a shot pop Baby you can't stop The beating of another heart The beating of another heart yeah Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart She needs the beating of another heart She needs the beating of another heart
