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 to put my foot
to the floor, yeah

Sirens wake me up
Wake me up with a cry
The things we do for attention
Just a little reminder, dear
I am still alive
Huh!

So confused
I almost threw it all away for you
Well you just 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, all of my friend
we waste so much love on our men
Why can’t I be forgiving
while he been out a-messin’
with his Argentine baby
cha!
cha!
Owww!

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’

[saxophone & guitar solos]

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, yeah
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, baby

If I have a heart attack at 23
If I have a heart attack at 23, babe
If I have a heart attack, baby
I\’m loving, loving you too much, yeah

Hey!
wave bye-bye, babe
bye-bye baby, yeah
I’m loving, loving you too much, hey
23, hey

I, you’ll miss me baby
you’ll miss me when I’m gone
wave bye-bye, babe
wave bye-bye, baby
I’m loving, loving you too
too much, babe
too much, babe
