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.
