[Jazz-Pop - 90 BPM - Male Baritone Vocal] [Verse 1] The piano takes its time tonight The bass is walking, everything feels right I had my heartbeat in a velvet groove Till you came along and changed the tune That little laugh, that lingering stare The way you move, the way you wear your hair I try to keep my feelings out of sight But something in me's running wild tonight [Pre-Chorus] You lean in close, I lose my place I feel the heat climb up my face I try to keep it smooth and slow But there's one thing you ought to know [Chorus] The band plays ninety, my heart plays double time Blood rushing fast through these veins of mine My temperature's rising with every little smile You make my steady rhythm run a thousand miles Oh, you're the sweetest fever I ever knew Can't keep my cool when I'm close to you The band plays ninety, but my pulse won't stay in line Baby, you got me living in double time [Verse 2] Your voice gets tangled with the saxophone And suddenly I don't feel like going home You brush my arm, I lose my train of thought You've got a kind of heat that can't be taught I feel the thunder underneath my skin A racing heart I just can't settle in And if you held my wrist, you'd understand Why I start trembling underneath your hand [Pre-Chorus] One little touch, I'm burning bright My breathing changes when you hold me tight I'm trying hard to play it cool But every nerve gives in to you [Chorus] The band plays ninety, my heart plays double time Blood rushing fast through these veins of mine My temperature's rising with every little smile You make my steady rhythm run a thousand miles Oh, you're the sweetest fever I ever knew Can't keep my cool when I'm close to you The band plays ninety, but my pulse won't stay in line Baby, you got me living in double time [Bridge] Mmm, let the drummer take it slow There's something that I need you to know It's not the music, not the wine It's what you do to this heart of mine A hundred degrees beneath my skin And every time you smile, it starts again No remedy, no reason why You bring the heat just walking by [Final Chorus] The band plays ninety, my heart plays double time Blood rushing fast through these veins of mine My temperature's rising, I can't disguise The fire you awaken when I look into your eyes Oh, you're the sweetest fever I ever knew Every heartbeat's calling out for you The band plays ninety, but my pulse won't stay in line Baby, you got me living in double time [Outro] Mmm, double time... Got that rush running through my veins Every time you call my name The music's slow... But this heart of mine... Keeps running... Double time... [End]
