Lyrics
Well, Mr. President, yeah, he went away, he went out of town.
Oh well, he sent me a letter. He said he'd come back.
Instead he sent me a clown.
And so, here I stand, pen and paper in hand. Wontcha give me a clue?
He said, now can't you see? Don't need no degree.
To know what to do.
(that's what he said)
Well, all you can do, is hold on to, the only thing you know.
All you can do, you're gonna make it through.
 
If you listen to your heart beatin' baby, your heart beatin' man.
Listen to it closer, oh, while you can.
I say your heart beatin' baby, your heart beatin' man.
Listen to it closer, now, now.
Well, people in the street, don't care who they meet, it's all understood.
But if you've got a smile, you're much too weak, but that's all good.
'Cuz if they take you down, you're bound to stay around, and you'll be playing their game.
'Cuz when your heart is gone, that's when you have no song, because the band won't play.
Yeah, they just won't play.
Well, all you can do, you better hold on to, the only thing you know, yeah.
All you can do, you're gonna make it through.
You gotta listen to your heart beatin' baby, your heart beatin' man.
Listen to it closer, while you can.
I say your heart beatin' baby, oh, your heart beatin' man.
Listen to it closer, now, oh, to your heart beatin' baby, your heart beatin' man.
Listen to it closer, oh, while you can.
I say your hearbeat, baby listen, your heart beatin' baby, man.
Listen to it closer, now, now.
 
 
Oh.
Listen to your heart beat, listen to it.
Listen to your heart beat, you better listen to it.
 
'Cuz if they take you down, you're bound to stay around, and you'll be playing their game.
'Cuz when your heart is gone, that's when you have no song, because the band won't play, yeah.
They just won't play.
 
You're all you can do, is hold on to, the only thing you know, yeah.
All you can do, you're gonna make it through., baby, baby, bay yeah.
Listen to your heart, baby, listen , oh, while you can. I say your heart beatin' baby, your heart beatin', man.
 
Listen to it closer, well, listen to your heart. You gotta listen to your heart.
