Cadillac smiles and the latest styles

In this world they ain't no part of me

A hundred dollar bill can cure your ills

In this world but it ain't no good to me

You see money and clothes are easily burned

People in cars are easily turned around



I'm looking for something that'll last me all of my life

I'm listening for the sound



I wanna hear a heartbeat in the darkness

Every night of my life

I wanna hear a heartbeat in the darkness

Next to mine



A woman tryin' to find a diamond mine

Ain't my kind she ain't no use to me

A big estate a with a wrought iron gate

A mansion on the hill, ain't where I wanna be

You see without love a house ain't a home

A diamond ain't no more than a stone in the ground



I'd give every material thing I ownin this life

If I could jus' hear the sound



Of a heartbeat in the darkness

Ev'ry night of my life

I wanna hear a heartbeat in the darkness

Next to mine



I wanna hear a heartbeat in the darkness

Ev'ry night of my life

I wanna hear a heartbeat in the darkness

Next to mine



I wanna hear a heartbeat

I wanna hear a heartbeat
