Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9 September 1960) is an English actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His films have earned more than $2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. Grant achieved international stardom after appearing in Richard Curtis's sleeper hit Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s to deliver comic performances in mainstream films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). By the turn of the 21st century, he had established himself as a leading man skilled with a satirical comic talent. Since the 2000s, Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), About A Boy (2002), Love Actually (2003), and American Dreamz (2006).
Within the film industry, Grant is cited as an anti-film star who approaches his roles like a character actor, with the ability to make acting look effortless. Hallmarks of his comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial expressions. The entertainment media's coverage of Grant's life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as a thespian. He has been vocal about his disrespect for the profession of acting, and in his disdain towards the culture of celebrity and hostility towards the media. In a career spanning 30 years, Grant has repeatedly claimed that acting is not a true calling but just a job he fell into.
I never thought that I could be so satisfied
Every time that I look in your angel eyes
A shock inside me that words just can't describe
And there's no explaining
Something in the way you move, I can't deny
Every word from your lips is a lullaby
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can't let you go
I can't lose this feeling
These precious moments, we have so few
Let us go far away, where there's nothing to do but play
You've shown to me that my destiny's with you
And there's no explaining
Let's fly so high, will you come with me tonight?
In your dress, I confess, you're the source of light
The way you shine in the starry skies
You are gold and silver
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can't let you go
I can't lose this feeling
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then
(I can't leave you now)
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then
(I can't leave you now)
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I saw you across the dance floor
Out of the corner of my eye
I felt the connection
I don't know how, I don't know why
I shouldn't have stayed when I saw you there
With another man
But as we slipped away
I thought I heard you say
This wasn't part of the plan
CHORUS:
Just a meaningless kiss
It wasn't supposed to end up like this
Just a meaningless kiss
Oh ohh
Just a meaningless kiss
We knew it was wrong
But we couldn't resist
Just a meaningless kiss
Til I fell in love
With you
But you didn't want me to
Ohh no
Here we are two years later
Too late to turn back now
We gotta finish what we shouldn't have started
We've got to walk away somehow
But it's easier said than done
When two hearts beat as one
And three hearts are one too many
That's why we shouldn't have ever begun
CHORUS:
Just a meaningless kiss
It wasn't supposed to end up like this
Just a meaningless kiss
Oh ohh
Just a meaningless kiss
We knew it was wrong
But we couldn't resist
Just a meaningless kiss
We can't go on like this forever
When we're not meant to be together
So leave me here
On my own
From now on I guess I've got to dance alone
CHORUS:
Just a meaningless kiss
It wasn't suppose to end up like this
Just a meaningless kiss
Ohh ohh
Just a meaningless kiss
We knew it was wrong
But we couldn't resist
Just a meaningless kiss
But I'm still in love
With you
It's been so long
Since I've known right from wrong
Got no job, sometimes I just sit down and sob
Wondering if anything will go right
Or will you dance with me tonight
When the sun departs
I feel a hole down in my heart
Put on some shoes
Come down here and listen to the blues
Wondering if anything will go right
Or will you dance with me tonight
I'm looking at you
You're looking at me
We're the only two off the dance floor
Do you see what I see
Two broken lives working in harmony
Might make for a decent time
So get up and dance with me
I know that it seems that the grass will grow
Better on the other side of the barb wire fence
But that other side is not in sight
So I'm fine with what I have now
If you'll dance with me tonight
What's the point of life
If risk is just a board game
You roll the dice
But you're just hoping that the rules change
What's the point if you can't bring yourself to say
Things you wanna say like
figuring out you and me
is like doing a love autopsy
they could operate all day long
and never figure out what went wrong
love autopsy
love autopsy
ah ah ah ah
It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody
But this time there's actually something on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines
Since I met you my whole life has changed
It's not just my furniture you've re-arranged
I was living in the past
But somehow you've brought me back
And I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said relax
And now I know based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I'm asking you is
Don't write me off just yet
For years I've been telling myself the same old story
That I'm happy to live off my so called former glories
But you've given me a reason
To take another chance
Now I need you despite the fact
That you've killed all my plants
And now I know
I've already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I'm asking you is
Don't write me off just yet
I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
Oh oh oh
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
