(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty - Bob Montgomery)

Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me
Heartbeat, why does a love kiss stay in my memory
Piddle-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
Piddle-dee-pat, and sing to me love stories
And bring to me love's glories
Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
