[Intro: Ian McKellen]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant "& Ian McKellen"]
Every time I see you
Something happens to me
"Like a chain reaction"
Between you and me

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
Every time
Oh oh oh, every time
Oh oh oh, every time

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
If I didn't love you
I would look around for someone else
But every time I see you
You have the same effect

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
Every time
Oh oh oh, every time
Oh oh oh, every time
Every time

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I hear your heart beat next to me
I'm in love with you; I mean what I say
I'm in love with you, and you don't know
What it means to be with you

[Refrain: Neil Tennant]
Beat
Beat
Beat
H-heartbeat

[Interlude: Ian McKellen]

[Refrain: Neil Tennant]
Beat
Beat
Beat
H-heartbeat

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant "& Ian Mc Kellen"]
Every time I see you
No matter what we do
"There's a strange reaction"
"Can you feel it too?"

[Chorus: Neil Tennant "& Ian Mc Kellen"]
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
"Every time"
"Oh oh oh, every time"
Oh oh oh, every time

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant "& Ian Mc Kellen"]
I hear your heart beat next to me
"I'm in love with you; I mean what I say"
I'm in love with you, and you don't know
What it means to be with you

[Interlude: Neil Tennant]
Oh oh oh, every time
Oh oh oh, every time
Oh oh oh, every time
