Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The other night a close friend told me
Never let my heart fall into careless hands
I said, thanks that's very nice
Appreciate your good advice
But things don't always go the way that I planned
[Verse 2]
Oh, you, you, you take my heart and shake it up
You, you, you take my heart and break it up
Get me to the doctor
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
[Verse 3]
When I get in close to you, I do the things I never do
There's no pressure
Doctor put me to the test
I heard your loving is the best
Well, he is right, you know I need affection
[Verse 4]
Oh, you, you, you take my heart and shake it up
You, you, you take my heart and break it up
Get me to the doctor
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
[Verse 5]
Doctor, doctor give me the cure
Doctor, doctor give me the cure
[Verse 6]
Doctor, I'm consulting you
I wanna put myself into your careless hands
All I need's a loving dose
I feel much better when you're close
I really hope things go the way that I plan
[Verse 7]
Oh, you, you, you take my heart and shake it up
You, you, you take my heart and break it up
Get me to the doctor
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
My heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang
[Verse 8]
(Bang, bang, bang, bang, ah-ah ah-ah)
(Bang, bang, bang, bang, ah-ah ah-ah)
[Verse 9]
You, you, you take my heart and shake it up
You, you, you take my heart and shake it up
When I get in close to you
You, you, you take my heart and shake it up
When I get in close to you
You, you, you take my heart and shake it up
When I get in close to you
You, you, you take my heart and shake it up
When I get in close to you
[Verse 10]
When I get in close to you
When I get in close to you
When I get in close to you
When I get in close to you
When I get in close to you...
