Bernadette Peters
Heartquake
I felt a funny tremblin’
When your eyes looked into mine
Now I realized should have recognized
That it was a danger sign

Oh I knew your reputation
The destruction that you’d done
But it wasn’t ‘til you touched me
That my soul cried out
There ain’t nowhere to run

Cause it’s a heartquake
I felt my heart ache
When you kissed me
Right then and there
I felt the earth shake
Oh it’s a heartquake
And now it’s too late
Oh it’s a love disaster
I got nowhere to hide

I couldn’t run for cover
So I tried to stand my ground
And then suddenly you just smiled at me
And my love came tumblin’ down
Oh I knew that I was helpless
I was paralyzed with fear
But when you went and reached out for me
My soul cried girl, better get out of here

Cause it’s a heartquake
I felt my heart ache
When you kissed me
Right then and there
I felt the earth shake
Oh it’s a heartquake
And now it’s too late
Oh it’s a love disaster
I got nowhere to hide
I got nowhere to hide

I knew my world had ended
And I’d never be the same
But just when I thought that I’d gotten through it
Just when I thought that I’d got used to it
You whispered baby come on let’s do it
And that’s when the aftershock came

It was a heartquake
I felt my heart ache
When you kissed me
Right then and there
I felt the earth shake
Oh it’s a heartquake
And now it’s too late
Oh it’s a love disaster
I got nowhere to hide
Cause it’s a heartquake
I felt my heart ache
When you kissed me
Right then and there
I felt the earth shake
Oh it’s a heartquake
And now it’s too late
Oh it’s a love disaster
I got nowhere to hide
