Ellen Foley - Beat of a Broken Heart lyrics

Oh, they met one night in a flurry of passion
At the C wild young men provided the beat
She looked at him, and he followed in fashion
They forget where they were
They were lost in the heat

He circled around, it was like he knew her
He took her hand, she was walking the air
With the look in his eye
He shot right through her
She should have felt thе danger
Right then and therе

‘Cause when the matter was through
He would take that young heart
And tear it in two
You can’t dance to the beat
Take a chance with the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, oh
Of a broken heart

You can’t dance to the beat
Make romance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat
– of a broken heart

They started to dance, deep in the shadows
Hiding away from the light of the moon
Flying to the song of a thousand pianos
The people and the fire fed
The flames of her doom

He took her so high, then took her higher
With a kiss so long as if frozen in time
No longer a child, she knew what desire
Had made her a woman with
Her heart on the line

‘Cause when she opened her eyes
Her lover was gone and his love was a lie

You can’t dance to the beat
Take a chance with the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, oh
Of a broken heart

You can’t dance to the beat
Make romance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat
– of a broken heart don’t dance
Don’t do it don’t you dance
Don’t do it

Don’t dance don’t do it
Don’t you dance oh, no, alright

‘Cause when she opened her eyes
The laughter was gone and his love was a lie

She knew, yeah, she knew

You can’t dance to the beat
Take a chance with the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, no, no
Of a broken heart

No, you can’t dance to the beat
Make romance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat
– of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
Of a broken heart of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
You can’t dance to the beat, oh
Of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
Of a broken heart of a broken heart
You can’t dance to the beat
You can’t dance to the beat, no, no
Of a broken heart
Of a broken heart (dance to the beat)
Of a broken heart
