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]
