Intro

 Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment

 Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount

 A plan that I can implement to make a dent on ignorance

 Instead of drunk belligerence

 and the dissidence of miscreants

 Especially in this instance with the never ending persistence

 to use the words in each sentence as if they were blunt instruments

 to beat a hole in the defence of this beauty and her innocence

 which serves to just build resistance

 in spite of all my good intents.

 The beat that my heart skipped

 The beat that my heart skipped

 The beat that my heart skipped

 This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met

 Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret

 No disrespect,we just left a lot of people upset

 And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect

 The beat that my heart skipped when we first met

 Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret

 No disrespect, we just left a lot of people upset

 And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect

 Well good god damn and other such phrases

 I haven’t heard a beat like this in ages

 To miss such a beat would have been outrageous

 But when you heart skips a beat its ruthless and aimless

 She caught my attention in her fishnets

 Then she reeled me in expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick sex

 But that weren’t the case with this platinum princess

 She’s attracted my interest

 So I wanted to impress

.

 Upon her all the positive things

 That come form having more than just a one night fling

 But that’s something that’s easier in theory than in practice

 Since pick up lines are tactics

 To get prey to the mattress

 And this actress, Is practiced, In shunning such theatrics

 When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics

 So my genuine advances are met with po-faced scepticism

 Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them

 Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom

 God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them

 But I really want to know what she thinks of me

 Because I’m loving every idiosyncrasy

 But I ain’t one to jump through hoops to make a 1st impression

 Been there, done that, learnt the worst of lessons

 We want to be loved for who we appear to be instead of who we are

 So I real selves take a backseat behind the pomp and the façade

 And that’s as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard

 As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard

 This is the beat that my heart skipped

 This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met

 Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret

 No disrespect,we just left a lot of people upset

 And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect

 This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met

 Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret
