Standard (EADGBE)

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

Chorus

 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

Chorus

Instrumental part

Chorus

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

Chorus
