I know you feel like you should be leavin' me

But baby, stay longer

(Baby, stay longer...)

And trust me that whatever rain killin' us

Is making us stronger

(Making us stronger...)

And every time you feel like you be losin' me, 

Girl, you just gotta know

(You just gotta know...)

It's you that keeps me beating like a heart, 

And I ain't gonna let you go

(Not gonna let you go...)



Like a heartbeat, you keep me going

Once you start me you never let me down

Like a heartbeat, you know I need you

And I gotta keep you inside of me

Baby, like a heartbeat... 

(Baby, like a heartbeat...)



So don't you turn your back on me

'Cause when I fall, I need you there beside me

I promise that the pulse I feel for you

Is only 'cause you're all I need

I know I slipped a little, 

But I'm standing, baby

When I'm next to you

I wanna make you feel like I've been running through your brain

Just like you do



Like a heartbeat, you keep me going

Once you start me you never let me down

Like a heartbeat, you know I need you

And I gotta keep you inside of me

Baby, like a heartbeat... 

(Baby, like a heartbeat...)



Well you know what I know

Where you go, then I go

You're running through me, 

Now let me do the same

Well you know what I know

If you go, then I go

You're running through me

Now let me do the same



Like a heartbeat, you keep me going

Once you start me you never let me down

Like a heartbeat, you know I need you

And I gotta keep you inside of me

Baby, like a heartbeat... 

(Baby, like a heartbeat...)



Baby, like a heartbeat... 

(Baby, like a heartbeat...) [x5]

And I gotta keep you inside of me

(Baby, like a heartbeat...) [x2]
