Heartbeat Why do you miss when my baby kisses me? Heartbeat Why does a love kiss stay in my memory? Piddle dee pat I know that new love thrills me I know that true love will be [Chorus] Heartbeat Why do you miss when my baby kisses me? Heartbeat Why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine? Heartbeat Why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign? Piddle dee pat And sing to me love stories And bring to me love's glories [Chorus]
