Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat, why does a love's kiss stay in my memory?
Riddle-dee pat
I know that new love thrills me
I know that true love will be
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
Riddle-dee-pat
And sing to me love's story and bring to me love's glory
Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
