Where Did The Beat Go?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Ba da ba bum Oh oh oh oh Ba da ba bum Ba da ba bum Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I can hear planes flyin' over my head Just hours before you occupied my bed In our darkness we conjured up sunlight In our haste, our need, our thirst we lost our sight But I was inspired tracing the lines on your face To the poetry the first time I heard your name When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick drum And it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone Uh oh, does he know That I'm lyin' in the afterglow That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no Make him think he's crazy While his paranoia grows What he should be asking Is where did our love ago Then I wouldn't be baskin' In another man's afterglow Where did the beat go Where is the beat Where did the beat go So how do I justify to the judge and the jury The voices in my head that caused this fury Never had to play with matches to start a fire But it got so cold and I thought I'd forgotten desire I was your concubine and then your Madonna You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's mama How long is lonely supposed to last I was naked and waiting for you to come back Uh oh, does he know That I'm lyin' in the afterglow That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no Make him think he's crazy While his paranoia grows What he should be asking Is where did our love ago Then I wouldn't be baskin' In another man's afterglow Where did the beat go Where is the beat Where did the beat go Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh There's a cause and effect although I took the steps I dove off the bridge cause I had nothing left All I ever wanted was you And in the absence of you I fell through Uh oh, does he know That I'm lyin' in the afterglow That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no Make him think he's crazy While his paranoia grows What he should be asking Is where did our love ago Then I wouldn't be baskin' In another man's afterglow Where did the beat go Where is the beat Where did the beat go Where did the love go Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Where did the beat go Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Where did the love go
