Heart Attack At 23 - Lyrics by Tori Amos


Lyrics

"I don't know why I did it.
Took the keys to my brother's car.
Why should I hang around here anymore?
Hey, just put my foot on the floor. Yeah."

Sirens wake me up
Wake me up with a cry
Things we do for attention
Just a little reminder dear
I am still alive

So confused
I almost threw it all away for you
You took me higher
And you dropped me lower
Than I've ever been before

If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23

All my friends, yeah
We waste so much love on our men
Why can't I be forgiving
While he been out a-messin'
With his Argentine baby

If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23

I must be dreaming
We were together
In a land of scarlet ribbon
That tied you to me darlin'

(Roll roll roll roll on)
But you know I'm never satisfied
(Roll roll roll roll on)
With all the good things in my life
(Roll roll roll roll on)
I thought I needed you to be strong
(Roll roll roll roll on)
I'll still miss you when I'm gone

If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23
