sirens wake me up
wake me up
with a cry
things we do
for attention...
just a little
reminder dear
i am still alive

so confused
i almost threw
it all away
for you
you took me higher
and you dropped
me lower
than i've ever been
before

if i have a heart attack
at 23
i'm loving you too much
if i have a heart attack
at 23
wave bye-bye
you'll miss me
you'll miss me baby
if i have a heart attack
at 23

all my friends
we waste so
much love
on our men
why can't i
be forgiving
while he been out
a-messin'
with his argentine baby

if i have a heart attack
at 23
i'm loving you too much
if i have a heart attack
at 23
wave bye-bye
you'll miss me
you'll miss me baby
if i have a heart attack
at 23

i must be dreaming
we were together
in a
land of scarlet ribbon
that tied you to me darlin'

roll roll roll roll on
but you know i'm never
satisfied
with all the good things
in my life
i thought i needed you
to be strong
i'll still miss you
when i'm gone

if i have a heart attack
at 23
i'm loving you too much
if i have a heart attack
at 23
wave bye-bye
you'll miss me
you'll miss me baby
if i have a heart attack
at 23
