Paul Clarvis - I've Heard That Beat Before lyrics

The neighborhood's really goin' down Since the couple upstairs arrived back in town Ain't never seen what they both look like But I sure can hear them when they start to fight They go at it He shouts at her, she shouts back He slams a door, she starts to pack Ya' know I can't help thinkin' Starts me thinkin' Yeah, I can't help thinkin' Ya' know, I've heard that beat before I've heard that beat before And when he goes out to get drunk with friends There's a record she plays over and over again It reverberates and the ba** and boom And the windows shake in my bathroom Oh, starts me thinkin' of the life I had Before the good times turned to bad And my heart starts achin' When the floor starts shakin' Yeah, there ain't no mistakin' The beat I've heard before I've heard that beat before What can I say, what can I do? Like me anew, a stage a vous Those memories keep reappearing Another day, another hour Another brog, another fight Can't stand what I'm hearing I've heard it all before Yeah, I've heard that beat before C'mon Alright Then one night it's a new flashback Sound of a different pitter pat A new song playin' in an upbeat tone And sounds of laughter when they get home Oh, must be new love goin' on in that bed Before the same old habit raises it's head As the mood starts changin' And the fights start ragin' I just sit here waitin' 'Cause I've heard that beat before I've heard that beat before Yeah, I've heard that beat before Yes I have I've heard that beat before Yeah, I've heard it before Yeah, I've heard that beat before
