Lisa Loeb - Now I Understand Lyrics

Oh, when I turned five I got a piece of cake
The corner with the rose
I leaned in close
And I told him that I loved him, and he ran
It made my heart stop
It made my heart stop

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop
Even though it feels like it could explode
Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop
It beats on and on and on

And in the afternoon I put on my best swimming suit
And spied across the pool at all my friends
But I sat on the steps, in the shallow end alone
Because my heart stopped
It made my heart stop

I didn't get what I expected
Reached out and I got rejected
I couldn't have it cause I checked it off
Felt sad, I didn't understand it
Why would this happen to me?
But my heart, it didn't stop
It beat on and on and on

Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop
Even though it feels like it could explode
Now I understand that my heart doesn't stop
It beats on and on and on
