Hummingbird Heartbeat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You make me feel like I'm losing my virginity
The first time, every time when you're touching me
I make you bloom like a flower that you never seen
Under the sun, we are one buzzing energy
Let's pollinate to create a family tree
This evolution with you comes naturally
Some call it science (Science), we call it chemistry
This is the story of the birds and the bees

[Pre-Chorus]
And even when seasons change
Our love still stays the same

[Chorus]
You give me that hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat


[Verse 2]
I've flown a million miles, just to find a magic seed
A white flower with the power to bring life to me
You're so exotic, get my whole body fluttering
Constantly craving for a taste of your sticky sweet
Always on the brink of a heart attack
You keep me alive and keep me coming back
I see the sun rise in your eyes, your eyes
We've got a future full of blue skies, blue skies
[Pre-Chorus]
And even when seasons change
Our love still stays the same

[Chorus]
You give me that hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me that hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat


[Bridge]
You love me, you love me
Never love me not, not
, oh no (No, no, no, no)
When we're in a perfect harmony
You make me sound like, like a symphony, oh


[Chorus]
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me that hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Oh, spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me that hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
[Outro]
Ah, ah (Oh, hey, yeah), hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah (Oh, hey, yeah), hummingbird heartbeat
Ah ah, hummingbird heartbeat, beat, beat, beat
