If I was your girlfriend lyrics question, am I hearing things?

Hi all, my first topic here.
On the song "If I was your girlfriend" I'm hearing "If I was your 1 and only friend would u run to me if somebody hurt u even if that somebody beat u was me?"

I'm hearing the word "beat" but others disagree.
Am I hearing things? nuts

On the SOTT album version the part in question starts at 2:00
On the Hits edit version it plays at 1:49

Maybe I need a hearing exam, blasting my ipod too loud err

Thanks if you have the time to re-listen.

There is no beat in that verse or the song for that manner. your ears indeed played tricks with u.
Actually it's.. Would u run 2 me if somebody hurt u
Even if that somebody was me?

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.
