Heartburn Lyrics
Alicia Keys
Uh, oh oh
Come on
A. Keys, Let's go
Lemme
Lemme, Lemme, Lemme
Lemme tell you something
Tell ya how I feel
When he comes around
I gettin to feelin ill
It's a aching feelin
Inside my chest
It's like I'm goin in-to cardiac arrest
Adrenaline rushin in my body
Over my power I just can't fight it
Doesn't matter how
I keep on tryin'
I can't deny I've got this heartburn
Burnin' in my soul (heart burn)
Call the fire department (ooh ,heartburn)
It's out of control (heartburn), oh
You got me trippin' slippin'
Gettin' beside myself
I tried some medication
But don't nothin' help
So I said, Doctor doctor, tell me will I die
And he said “count to five Alicia”
And I'm gone be alright
Lets go, 1, 2, 3, 4
Adrenaline rushin' in my body
Over my power I just can't fight it
Doesn't matter how
I keep on tryin'
I can't deny I've got this heartburn
Burnin' in my soul (heart burn)
Call the fire department (ooh ,heartburn)
It's out of control (heartburn), oh
Taste so good, I can't resist
Gettin' harder to digest
Can't take no mo
Gotta shake it off
Now break it down, and take it to the ground with me now
Everybody say oh
Ohh, uh oh oh
Don't you know I got this (heartburn)
Burnin in my soul (heartburn)
Call the fire department (heartburn)
It's out of control (heartburn)
