The Beat That My Heart Skipped Lyrics

The Beat That My Heart Skipped by Dan Le Sac

• 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 defense
• of this beauty and her innocence
• which serves to build resistance
• in spite of all my good intents.
• The beat that my heart skipped
• This is the beat that my heart skipped
• 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
• But we 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
• No disrespect
• But we 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
• And 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 easier in theory than in practice
• Since pick up lines are tactics
• To get prey to the mattress
• And this actress
• Is practised
• In shunning such theatrics
• When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics
• So my genuine advances are met with real 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 our real selves hide 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 when we first met
• Now that I've heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret
• No disrespect
• But we left a lot of people upset
• And what we had wasn't really what we'd come to expect
• 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
• But we left a lot of people upset
• 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
• But we left a lot of people upset
• And what we had wasn't really what we'd come to expect
• 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
• But we left a lot of people upset
• And what we had wasn't really what we'd come to expect
• 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 defense
• of this beauty and her innocence
• which serves to build resistance
• in spite of all my good intents.
• The beat that my heart skipped
• This is the beat that my heart skipped
