  • (Ooh, ooh-ooh) yeah
    Mm-mm, yeah (ooh, ooh-ooh)

    Hear me speak what's on my mind
    Let me give this testimony
    Reaffirm that you will find
    That you are my one and only

    No exception to this rule
    I'm simple but I'm no fool (I'm no fool)
    I've got a witness happy to say
    Every hour, every day

    Every heartbeat bears your name
    Loud and clear, they stake my claim
    My red blood runs true blue
    And every heartbeat belongs to you

    Classic case of boy meets girl
    Moving in the same direction
    You're not asking for the world
    I'm not asking for perfection

    Just a love that's well-designed
    For passing the test of time (oh, test of time)
    I'm here to tell you
    I'm here to stay
    Every hour, every day

    Every heartbeat bears your name
    Loud and clear, they stake my claim
    Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
    That every heartbeat belongs to you

    Every heartbeat bears your name
    Loud and clear, they stake my claim, yeah
    My red blood runs true blue
    And every heartbeat belongs to you

    Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

    Yeah, sure, maybe I'm on the edge
    But I love you, baby, and like I said
    I'm here to tell you
    I'm here to stay
    Every hour, every day

    Every heartbeat bears your name
    Loud and clear, they stake my claim
    Ask anyone and they'll tell you, it's true
    That every heartbeat belongs to you

    Every heartbeat bears your name
    Loud and clear, they stake my claim, yeah
    My red blood runs true blue
    Every heartbeat belongs to you

    Ooh (every)
    Ooh (every heartbeat)
    Every heartbeat belongs to you

    Every heartbeat bears your name
    Loud and clear, they stake my claim
    My red blood runs true blue
    Every heartbeat belongs to you

    Ooh (every)
    Ooh (every heartbeat) Writer/s: Amy Lee Grant, Charlie Peacock, Wayne Kirkpatrick
