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
