Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat, why does a love 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?

[Instrumental]

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?
