Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss stay in my memory?
[Verse 2]
Piddly pat
I know that new love thrills me
I know that true love will be
[Verse 3]
Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
[Verse 4]
Heartbeat
Why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine?
Heartbeat
Why do you flip, then give me a skip each sign?
[Verse 5]
Piddly pat
And sing to me love's story
And bring to me love's glory
[Verse 6]
Heartbeat
Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Written by: Bob Montgomery, Ed Cobb, Norman Petty
