don't slow down when I'm asleep
Steady, steady, my heartbeat
You know I strive to keep it on the level
A tempo change would just bring trouble
If it's out of mind, it's out of sight
Don't want to start a conversation
Don't slow down when I'm asleep
You know I strive to keep it on the level
A tempo change would just bring trouble
I can feel you pounding on the other side
Are you gonna make me hold the wall?
Give it my best, give me one more chance
And I'll never feel nothing at all
In the middle of an open field
But when you fi nally go out,
I'll be standing in the water still
Steady, steady, my heart beat
I know I strive to keep it on the level
A tempo change would just bring trouble
So steady, steady, my heartbeat
