In 1986, while under the Sonte's Sunnyview Record label, Connie released her second single "Experience", which along with "Funky Little Beat", "Your Eyes", "I Can't Stop", "Fire In My Heart", "Laughter In The Rain", "I'm In Love With You", and "Rock Me", provided her self-title debut album CONNIE.
The following six years Connie toured the globe, performing with music legends Kool & The Gang, Evelyn Champagne King, Morris Day and fellow Freestyle peers, Expose and Lisa Lisa. In the early 90’s Connie took a step back from the music scene to get married. Before the birth of her daughter in 1996, Connie recorded her second full-length album, NO TEARS, released under the Black Olive Record label.
In 2002 Thump Records released THE BEST OF CONNIE. Containing three versions of Funky Little Beat ( the original and two club-style remix), the BEST OF CD also featured Connie's original version of Rock Me, Experience, and Your Eyes, plus the newly recorded cover tracks Look Out Weekend, How Can We Be Wrong, and When I Hear Music, which had been made popular a decade earlier by fellow "freestylers".
By the mid 1990's the self-proclaimed "FOREVER FUNKY" one itched to get back into the studio and with a new production team, Black House Productions; Connie released LET'S PARTY in 2006. Revealing a fierce Latin twist and new "funky beat style" LET’s PARTY is an English/Spanish crossover with a Reggaeton, Cumbia, Merengue, and R&B beat. That year also saw the release of the MP3 download compilation THE BEST OF ( FUNKY LITTLE BEAT) featuring digitally remastered original songs on Amazon.com.
Funky Little Beat, regarded as one of the defining songs of the freestyle era, still holds its own in today inspiring Canadian singer, Kim Esty to cover the catchy tune, while Connie’s other popular hit - ROCK ME - is reaching a new younger audience as the soundtrack to the NIKE commercial filmed at the Berrics.
Connie currently resides in South Florida with her husband, daughter, and family dog and continues to perform in both public and private concerts, throughout the U.S. and abroad. You can follow Connie on Facebook, Myspace and her personal website, http://www.conniemusic.com/
Look Out Weekend
Connie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He swore that he'd never let us go
He promised me he'd love us for a lifetime
Pretty words but heaven only knows
If that's true then we'll be all the better
If he leaves we've seen it all before
But there's something about him
We'd better go and get him
I know you've had your troubles and your heart aches
I know how long that we've been on the mend
I promised you the last time there'd never be a next time
Lookout heart, here we go again
I know you've had your troubles and your heart aches
I know how long that we've been on the mend
I promised you the last time there'd never be a next time
Lookout heart, here we go again
Look out heart, here we go again
In Connie Smith's song "Look Out Heart," the singer reflects on her relationship with her partner and the familiar pattern of their love. The lyrics describe her partner's promises of a forever love and devotion, but the singer knows that these words have been spoken before and were not kept. She acknowledges the difficulties and heartaches in their past, but despite this, she finds herself drawn back to him. The repeated phrase "look out heart, here we go again" expresses a sense of resignation to the fact that history will likely repeat itself, but the singer is still willing to take that risk.
The song's bittersweet lyrics are accompanied by a classic country melody and Smith's powerful vocals. The tune evokes a sense of both longing and resignation, and the emotional weight of the lyrics is amplified by Smith's delivery. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song serves to reinforce the idea that this pattern of love and heartache is something that the singer has experienced before and is likely to experience again.

He told me that he'd always love me
He said that he would continuously love me
He swore that he'd never let us go
He made an oath that he would never let us go
He promised me he'd love us for a lifetime
He guaranteed that he would love us for our entire lives
Pretty words but heaven only knows
The words were nice, but only heaven knows if they are true
If that's true then we'll be all the better
If his promises are kept, it will make us better
If he leaves we've seen it all before
We have experienced this before if he leaves us
But there's something about him
There is a certain quality about him
We'd better go and get him
We should go and retrieve him quickly
Before he turns and walks right out the door
Before he leaves without hesitation
I know you've had your troubles and your heart aches
I am aware of your past difficulties and emotional pains
I promised you the last time there'd never be a next time
I assured you last time that there would not be another occurrence
Lookout heart, here we go again
Be prepared, heart, because we are going through a similar event again
I know how long that we've been on the mend
I acknowledge the amount of time we have spent trying to recover
