The wrong heartbrake

Richard Thompson


Don't think my love is something that you can play with 
I'm not the one to spend the time of day with 
You learn to hide love, you lock it up or find it gone 
You think you need me, you think you read me 
From the beating of my heart 

But you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
O you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
You're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
My love is strong 

If you should see a tear, you won't see many 
If you should hear me sigh, it's not for any 
If you should greet me as I am walking along 
You only want to see just the shell of me 
You don't know the other part 

Well, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat 
I said, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
My love is strong 

O you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
O listening to the wrong heartbeat 
O listening to the wrong heartbeat 
My love is strong 

Don't throw your secrets where men will steal them 
You got to hide them, you got to seal them 
No matter what you try, you'll never take my love from me 
And if you might think that you can move me 
From the beating of my heart 

O you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat 
You're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
My love is strong 

O yes you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
You're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
You're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
My love is strong 

You're, you're, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
O listening to the wrong heartbeat 
O you're listening to the wrong heartbeat 
My love is strong
