Thompson, Richard - The Wrong Heartbeat Lyrics






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

  1. P.... D....

    One of my favorite music videos, and judging from the video for "Don't Lose My Number" it's one of Phil Collins' favorites as well.

  2. F.... ....

    Catchy song, could have been a hit !

  3. j.... t....

    This video sums up his avoidance of mass popularity quite well. The advos don't know how to sell him! I like the RT as Gwar/Spinal Tap bit!

  4. E.... B....

    According to RT, this video cost $6000 to make, & it's all up there on the screen. :)

  5. P.... K....

    This video was made by a group of San Francisco loonies called VideoWest...they also did videos for Commander Cody ("Two Triple Cheese") and the Finders ("Calling Dr. Howard") which can also be found on YouTube. Great, cheesy, early days of video music!!

  6. l.... ....

    @killie04 Yes however Richard Thompson crossed the eighties totally unknown to many listeners!

    l.... ....

    ...the only reason I knew of him is because I'm in this video (I'm the roadie standing up the microphone at 1:33, in the lower left hand corner of the screen)...

  7. J.... K....

    Very corny but...I want more haha
    Gotta love richie!

  8. G.... ....

    Special cameo as the rock band - by SF Bay Area's own Tumblers!

    Thank you!
