SKIPPING BEATS
Every time I see you
My heart skips a beat.
I feel that bump, skip, flutter, jump.
Thump, thump, skip, thump, quiver, thump.
Every time I talk to you
My heart skips a beat.
Is it atrial fibrillation?
Time for a cardiac ablation?
Every time you text me
My heart skips a beat.
ABC’s of abnormal T waves;
QRS with disappearing P waves.
Every time I am near you
My heart skips a beat.
Irregular beats, sudden arrhythmia;
Not bradycardia, definitely tachycardia.
Every time you call me
My heart skips a beat.
Get my cardiologist on the phone.
To prescribe me some amiodarone.
Every time friends ask about you
My heart skips a beat.
Cardioversion or just a beta blocker?
A pacemaker or a calcium channel blocker?
Every time you touch me
My heart skips a beat.
Praying no stroke or heart attack;
Will a defibrillator get me back?
Every time I dream of you
My heart skips a beat.
How about a stress test and EKG?
Or is it correct to say ECG?
Every time I think of you
My heart skips a beat.
I feel that bump, skip, flutter, jump.
Thump, thump, skip, thump, quiver, thump.
