My Heart Is Like a Drummer

As I'm preparing myself
To say farewell to my pride again
I remember how it was back then
I'd see you light a cigarette and then
You'd ask me to pass your asthma inhaler
I'd say, "don't you ever think about cancer?"
You'd say, "baby, you don't know
But my heart is as strong as a drummer
My heart is as strong as a drummer"

You make me feel like apologizing for being like this
Do I have to say I'm sorry for my happiness?
You see, it's like loving "graceland"
It's not allowed to be, but we know it's everybody's favourite
Deep down in the place where music makes you happiest
In the place where my heart is a drummer
In the place where my heart is a drummer

And when you call me on the telephone
My fingers will twist through the cord
And I'll slide my feet up and down the wall
But I know that I'm stronger than you are
But I know that I'm stronger than you are

And when you call me on the telephone
My fingers will twist through the cord
And I'll slide my feet up and down the wall
But I know that I'm stronger than you are
But I know that I'm stronger than you are
