Lil' Mo – Heartbeat lyrics

[Intro:]
Now this is not necessarily based on a true story but I'm pretty sure that somebody has been through this at one point in their life.
I mean, you just gotta learn how to apologize.
How to say I'm sorry.
And never go to bed mad.
Never leave the house mad cuz you never know if that person gone be taken away from you.
And that's just real.
I want you to listen to this lil story.
I call this my "Heartbeat".
Oh, how precious a heartbeat is.
Listen...

[Verse 1:]
Should've told you bout the feeling I had before you walked out.
I was so mas about our arguement, I just cussed and stormed out.
Usin four letter words, put my hands in your face calling you this and that.
Talked so reckless cuz I thought that I was paying you back.
Then my phone rang.
I thought it was you but it was your boy.
He said it got crazy at the club.
It was wildin and something went wrong.
I knew by his tone that you was gone.
Man things ran through my head cuz I thought it was my fault.
And I...

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (I wish)
I miss you.
Give anything to say I'm sorry. (Hmmm)
It'd make me so complete if I could hear your heartbeat. (Make me so complete)
Wish I could see you again. (I wish)
Don't know when we'll meet again. (Cuz I don't know)
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again.
It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your heartbeat. (It'd put my mind at ease if I can hear your)

[Verse 2:]
Why did I keep so many things about us bottled inside?
Why didn't I tell you I found out that I was having your child?
But now it's too late.
Cuz...
(Your)
Your...
So...
(Gone)
Why did you have to go to the club?
Why couldn't you stay home?
Why couldn't we just go in the room and make love?
Why did I leave the message that I think it cost you your life?
Wish I...

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (Wish I could kiss you, wish I could tell you that I really love you)
I miss you.
Give anything to say I'm sorry.
It'd make me so complete if I could hear your heartbeat. (Make me so complete if I could hear your heartbeat)
Wish I could see you again.
Don't know when we'll meet again. (Oh, I wish)
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again.
It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your heartbeat. (I'd give anything to put my mind at ease) (If I could hear ya, if I could hear your heartbeat)

[Bridge:]
I started to question God. (I started to question God)
Why'd he take you away from me this way? (Why'd he take you away from me?)
I'm about to have your baby. (Cuz I found out that I was having your baby)
Baby.
Baby.
But my pastor said that this isn't a mistake. (I went to my pastor)
That he knows God cannot make. (And he said God cannot make no mistakes)
But I need to know can you hear me? (So I need to know)
(I can hear you) (Can you hear me baby?)

[Verse 3:]
Baby, I'm sorry that I left you this way. (Ohhh)
But he needed me that's way he brought me to his place.
I just wished I could've said goodbye.
And kissed you before they took my life away. (Ohhhh)
But promise me that you'll take care of my child.
Let him or her know dad didn't mean to walk out.
And remember that I love you baby.
And I'm watching over you and our lil baby.

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (Wish I could kiss you)
I miss you.
Give anything to say I'm sorry.
It'd make me so complete if I could hear your heartbeat. (How much I miss you, cuz I'm so sorry)
Wish I could see you again. (I just wanna hear your heartbeat, yeah)
Don't know when we'll meet again. (I don't know when we'll meet again)
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again.
It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your heartbeat. (It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your, if I could hear your heartbeat)

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (Oh baby, I miss you)
I miss you.
Give anything to say I'm sorry. (Oh baby, I love you)
It'd make me so complete if I can hear your heartbeat. (It would make me so complete if I could hear your heartbeat)
Wish I could see you again. (I wonder if you'll open up the gates for me)
Don't know when we'll meet again.
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again.
It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your heartbeat. (It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your heart, if I could hear your heartbeat again)

Oh, baby I love you.
