Where Did the Beat Go?

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
 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 go
 Then I wouldn't be baskin'
 In another man's afterglow
 Where did the beat go? (In another man's afterglow)
 Where is the beat? (oh, no)
 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 behind 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 go
 Then I wouldn't be baskin'
 In another man's afterglow
 Where did the beat go? (In another man's afterglow)
 Where is the beat?
 Where did the beat go?
 (In another man's afterglow)
 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 go
 Then I wouldn't be baskin'
 In another man's afterglow
 Where did the beat go? (In another man's afterglow)
 Where is the beat? Yo!
 Where did the beat go?
 Where did the love go?
 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Where did the beat go?
 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Where did the love go?
