[Intro]
Oh the beat of my heart[x2]

[Verse 1]
Always here
I'll be close to you
But you won't see me
On the street or underground
I'll be there somewhere
You can look around
You can listen out
But you won't find me
Beyond the shadow
Of a doubt
Oh I'll be there for you

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been living in another world
Ever since I met you
Don't want to treat you like a little girl
I know you better

[Chorus]
The beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You'll find your way
H-o-m-e
The beat of my heart
You won't be lonely

[Bridge]
Girl I'm here
And I'll always be
There when you need me
Close at hand
Never far away
I'll be there for you

[Verse 2]
You're such a crazy little pretty girl
How could I ever forget you
You tried to take me to another world
But I wouldn't let you

[Chorus]
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You won't be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen to me now
The beat of my heart
Calling you
H-o-m-e
Ooh the beat of my heart
You won't be lonely

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You won't be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen closely now
The beat of my heart
And it's calling you
H-o-m-e

[Bridge]
Ooh the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
For the beat of my heart
You'll find your way home
H-o-m-e

[Outro]
Ooh the beat of my heart
Ooh the beat of my heart
It's calling you
H-o-m-e

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
