"Heartbeat In The Night" lyrics - TOMMY JAMES

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

Somebody's playin' with fire tonight.
Somebody lovin' a liar tonight.
Let's talk about truth, what's the price?
Your soul is all that you sacrifice.
Somebody's playin' 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 poundin' 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]
