(john duarte/mark paul)

Secret eyes
Sayin' nothin' at all
You'd think our love
Was breakin' the law
Kisses in the darkness
That nobody sees
They know we're together
But they don't know what I feel

They can tear us apart
And send you away
Oh but they can't stop our heartbeats
They can tell you to go
And never come back
Oh but they can't stop our heartbeats

Words of steel
They tell me not to leave
I wanna be with you
But I can't get free
In a fit of rage
I run out the door
There's no tomorrow
When I'm in your arms

And they can tear us apart
Send you away
Oh but they can't stop my heartbeat
They can tell you to leave
And never come back
Oh they can't stop, oh
They can't stop the heartbeat

Hold me all through the night
Show me our love is alive
Kiss me before it's too late
'cause this time our love just can't wait

Just one last look
While they take you away
They can send me back home
But they can't make me stay
I'll be waiting by the phone
Until they let you go
And I'll be with you in a heartbeat
I just want you to know

They can tear us apart
Send you away
Oh they can't stop our heartbeats
They can tell you to leave
And never come back
Oh they can't stop my
They can't stop my heartbeat
Oh they can't stop the heartbeat
They can tell you to go
And never come back
Oh they can't stop our heartbeats
They can tear us apart
And send you away
Oh but they can't stop the heartbeat
