Cadillac smiles in the ladies' styles in this world They ain't no part of me A hundred dollar bill can cure your ills in this world But it ain't no good to me You see money and clothes are easily burned People and cars are easily turned around I'm looking for something that'll last me all of my life I'm listening for the sound I wanna hear her heartbeat In the darkness Every night of my life I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Next to mine A woman trying to find a diamond mine Ain't my kind, she ain't no use to me A big estate with a wrought-iron gate A mansion on the hill, ain't where I wanna be You see without love a house ain't a home A diamond ain't no more than a stone in the ground I'd give every material thing I own in this life If I could just hear the sound I wanna hear her heartbeat In the darkness Every night of my life I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Next to mine I wanna hear her heartbeat In the darkness Every night of my life I wanna hear a heartbeat In the darkness Next to mine I wanna hear a heartbeat I wanna hear a heartbeat I wanna hear a heartbeat
