Beat of a Broken Heart Lyrics by Ellen Foley

Another Breath (Expanded Edition)

0

Oh, they met one night in a flurry of passion
At the C wild young men provided the beat
She looked at him, and he followed in fashion
They forget where they were, they were lost in the heat
He circled around, it was like he knew her
He took her hand, she was walking the air
With the look in his eye he shot right through her
She should have felt thе danger, right then and therе
‘Cause when the matter was through
He would take that young heart and tear it in two
You can’t dance to the beat
Take a chance with the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, oh, of a broken heart
You can’t dance to the beat
Make romance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat – of a broken heart
They started to dance, deep in the shadows
Hiding away from the light of the moon
Flying to the song of a thousand pianos
The people and the fire fed the flames of her doom
He took her so high, then took her higher
With a kiss so long as if frozen in time
No longer a child, she knew what desire
Had made her a woman with her heart on the line
‘Cause when she opened her eyes
Her lover was gone and his love was a lie
You can’t dance to the beat
Take a chance with the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, oh, of a broken heart
You can’t dance to the beat
Make romance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat – of a broken heart....
Don’t dance
Don’t do it
Don’t you dance
Don’t do it
Don’t dance
Don’t do it
Don’t you dance
Oh no, alright
‘Cause when she opened her eyes
The laughter was gone and his love was a lie
She knew, yeah, she knew
You can’t dance to the beat
Take a chance with the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, no, no, of a broken heart
No, you can’t dance to the beat
Make romance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat – of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
Of a broken heart
Of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
You can’t dance to the beat, oh, of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
Of a broken heart
Of a broken heart
You can’t dance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, no, no, of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
Of a broken heart....
