My heart beats, my heart beats,
None can know the rhythm it keeps.
My heart beats, my heart beats,
None can know, oh why it leaps.
No one speaks, and I shall be mute,
How did you know, my dearest fruit?
See how she walks, the maiden so fair,
Like a doe that dances upon the air.
I shall pursue, I shall tease, I shall claim,
She will whisper, "Nay, nay, the same!"
Oh, nay, nay, nay, nay!
The thrill will rise, she will run and flee,
I will follow, a shadow, you see.
I will hold her arm, steal her kohl's grace,
Unfurl her tresses, and snap my embrace.
Yet still, she'll murmur, "Nay, nay, the same!"
My heart beats, my heart beats,
None can know the rhythm it keeps.
My heart beats, my heart beats,
None can know, oh why it leaps.
Listen closely, to what I impart,
Love calls daily, a chorus to start.
One whispers, "Darling, I love you true,"
Another, "Darling, I care for you."
A third, "Darling, I miss you, it's true."
Sometimes veggie burgers, a tempting array,
Sometimes beef burgers, to brighten my day.
They linger, "Visit again," they all say,
A knowing glance, then they flit away.
Calling my mother, awakening my sire,
Alas, they pursue me, consumed by desire.
May God protect me, and light up my way,
Introduce me to those who hold virtue's sway.
With cheeks so fair, and eyes of deep blue,
See how many yearn, to belong to me, too.
From London's fog, to Paris's gleam,
From China's charm, to Bombay's dream.
But my heart does not pound for their pleas,
It beats for only you, just you, if you please.
And it whispers, what, what, what?
My heart beats, my heart beats,
None can know the rhythm it keeps.
My heart beats, my heart beats,
None can know, oh why it leaps.
