Lyrics
MY HEART ATTACK JUST WALKED IN
© Chapman/Severson
Oh my heart attack it just walked in
I thought I'd gotten over this
and it's scary how she fires up my brain
and I become a yearning churning heart aflame
and oh -- and oh --
that stop-light flashing in my heart
and oh -- and oh --
that sudden thundering alarm
I don't need no EKG to fill me in
My heart attack just walked in
And oh she's walking over to me
and my pulse jumps and my knees go weak
She comes up, whispers my name
and I become a shaking quaking heart aflame
and oh -- and oh --
that stop-light flashing in my heart
and oh-- and oh --
that sudden thundering alarm
I don't need no EKG to fill me in
My heart attack just walked in
I knew she was trouble
from the get-go
She electrified
my libido
She used me and abused me
And treated me mean
so I escaped from that
heartbreak machine.
But oh -- and oh --
that stop-light flashing in my heart
and oh-- and oh --
that sudden thundering alarm
I don't need no EKG to fill me in
My heart attack just walked in
HELP -- I need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!
