*The beat that my heart skipped sounded like THIS:      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.   *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   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`d 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 practiced   In shunning such theatrics   When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics      So my genuine advances are met with rue 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 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.      *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      *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.   *This is the beat that my heart skipped.
