Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arms, legs slapped around you
Ooh, champagne let's fall down
Arms, legs keep grabbing
See, I be catching you staring be careful
Though I don't mind it's a dangerous place to be left in
But keep your eyes on me
It feels like it's been far too long
Your knees can't hold your legs
Your feet just want a pace
The eyes keep me all in a trance
Let me ask you
But you leave it all in the back of your head
All in the palm of my hand
Ain't nobody holding you back
Don't it feel like it's been far too long, girl?
Your heart don't stand a chance
Your knees just want to break
Your eyes keep me all in a trance
And let me ask you
I know the approach is so far from what she used to
Huh, but you know it
And do I hold a candle to the last one over your moon?
Baby, of course, I do
And I'm not closing my tab
Don't it feel like it's been far too long, girl?
Your heart don't stand chance
Ooh, champagne foreign dime
Arms, legs slapped around you
Ooh, champagne let it fall down
Arms, legs keep grabbing
Two-step in the corridor
Spinning the greatest hits of Hall & Oates
Open of chronic smoke
I know my time will flee
But your heart don't stand a chance
It feels like it's been far too long
The moment is all that we have
My meter should be up by the half
A ticket is the least of my cares
So let me ask you
Am I dreaming?
Mind on a tip of a cloud
Is it real as the stone in your crown?
Say, ain't nobody towing my jag
Don't it feel like it's been far too long, girl?
Your heart don't stand a chance
I'm waiting for the white flag
You're talking with the blunt in your hand
And won't you pass that?
I know, in the morning
The sunlight cover your wounds
But I'm hoping that I look the same as the way you always knew
Baby, of course, I flew
But I'm not over what we had
Don't it feel like it's been far too long, girl?
Your heart don't stand a chance
Ooh, champagne foreign dime
Arms, legs slapped around you
Ooh, champagne let it fall down
Arms, legs keep grabbing
In "Heart Don't Stand a Chance," Anderson .Paak sings about a woman who is caught up in his seductive charm. The first stanza sets the scene with references to champagne and a foreign beauty who is wrapped up in his arms and legs. Anderson tells the woman that he notices her staring at him, and while he doesn't mind, it's still a dangerous place for her to be. He asks her to keep her eyes on him and warns her that her heart doesn't stand a chance. He repeats these lyrics throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that he has her under his spell.
The second stanza is more introspective, with Anderson wondering if he can hold a candle to the woman's past lovers. He assures her that he does and that he's not giving up anytime soon. He acknowledges that the approach he's taking is different from what she's used to, but he's confident in his ability to win her over. The third stanza sees Anderson describing the setting, with the two of them dancing to the "greatest hits of Hall & Oates" and smoking weed. Anderson knows that his time with the woman is limited, but he's determined to make the most of it.

Open of chronic smoke
Smoking weed together to enhance the experience
I know my time will flee
I'm aware that this moment won't last forever

We need to cherish this moment, as it's all we have

I don't even care about getting a ticket or getting in trouble, as long as we're together
Am I dreaming?
Is this too good to be true? Am I really experiencing this moment?
Mind on a tip of a cloud
Feeling euphoric, like I'm on top of the world
Is it real as the stone in your crown?
This moment is so magical, it feels like royalty
Say, ain't nobody towing my jag
No one can stop me from enjoying this moment of luxury
I'm waiting for the white flag
I'm ready to surrender to your love completely
You're talking with the blunt in your hand
We're in the moment, enjoying each other's company without a care in the world
And won't you pass that?
Can I have some of what you're smoking? We're sharing everything else, after all
In the morning the sunlight cover your wounds
In the harsh light of day, we'll see the reality of our lives and any pain we've been avoiding
But I'm hoping that I look the same as the way you always knew
Despite any realizations we may have in the morning, I hope you'll still see me the same way
Baby, of course, I flew
I went to great lengths to be with you, and it was worth it
But I'm not over what we had
This moment was special, and I will always remember it
Your heart don't stand a chance
You're falling for me, and there's no way you can resist
Ooh, champagne foreign dime
Celebrating luxury and companionship
Arms, legs slapped around you
Fully entwined in a passionate embrace
Ooh, champagne let it fall down
Drinking so much champagne that the world spins out of control
Arms, legs keep grabbing
The attraction between the two lovers is insatiable, pulling them back together constantly

See, I be catchin' you starin', be careful
The idle mind is a dangerous place to be left in

I saw Anderson Paak at a Bruno Mars concert in Lisbon a couple of years ago, I'd never heard of him.. This guy played Piano, he played drums, he sang, he rapped. All his tracks were so unique. What a great artist. Was a pleasure to see him perform.
