The first time that I saw you
I wanted you to be the beat
(wanted you to be the beat)
To my Base Line
and maybe we could make a melody
But the lyrics came and they said
"No, don't go. You'd be better off making this duet a solo"
I've seen the sheet music
and I think it's kinda strange that we make
I to the bridge thinking we might find a key change

But the last time you said you loved me
I heard our love as a song
The harmonies were all wrong
But baby I didn't mind
Until we got to the second verse
We ran all out of words
And that beat Skipped. Skipped
On out of time
Then my cord was a hit
We were only a hit
In my mind
But stupid me, I believed, the last three words
of the last line
But that's fine that'll be the last time

But the last time you said you loved me
I heard our love as a song
The harmonies were all wrong
But baby I didn't mind
Until we got to the second verse
We ran all out of words
And that beat Skipped. Skipped
On out of time
Then my cord was a hit
We were only a hit
In my mind
But stupid me, I believed, the last three words
of the last line
But that's fine that'll be the last time

The first time that I saw you
I wanted you to be the beat
