Hearts Were Made For Beating

Jerry Lee Lewis · Touching Home/would You Take Another Chance On Me? [2013]

God made man and then God made a woman

Well he never meant for them to turn out bad

Inside he placed a heart for beating and oh what a beating mine's had

Scattered pieces of my heart lay all around me each

one filled with love it almost had

How much longer can heart let go on beating cause Lord

what a beating mine's had

Well a heart born to lose can never win

But each beat of my heart gives me strenght to try again

How much longer can heart let go on beating cause Lord

what a beating mine's had

[ piano ]

Well a heart born to lose...

Oh I say Lord what a beating mine's had

Hearts Were Made For Beating
