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
