Skippin a Beat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My friends talking me down
I shouldn't hang around you
What do I do?
Something that I just need to figure out
Baby, it's a mistake
Calling you up this late
Hoping you're alone
Even though I'm already on my way
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold my tongue
You're the one I want, boy
I don't care 'bout love
Whatever this is, it feels right
[Chorus]
You're like a one way trip, but I'm ready to leave
I've got my mind made up that you've got what I need
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
Oh boy, I know it's bad, what you're doin' to me
'Cause when I think of you it gets harder to breathe
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
My friends talking me down
I shouldn't hang around you
What do I do?
Something that I just need to figure out
Baby, it's a mistake
Calling you up this late
Hoping you're alone
Even though I'm already on my way
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold my tongue
You're the one I want, boy
I don't care 'bout love
Whatever this is, it feels right
[Chorus]
You're like a one way trip, but I'm ready to leave
I've got my mind made up that you've got what I need
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
Oh boy, I know it's bad, what you're doin' to me
'Cause when I think of you it gets harder to breathe
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
[Post-Chorus]
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
[Verse 2]
I'm sitting in my car
Wondering what we are
Damn, I did it again
I don't know how I let it come this far
With you I never learn
That's why I never turn back
I got it bad
All that you gotta do is say the word
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold my tongue
You're the one I want, boy
I don't care 'bout love
Whatever this is, it feels right
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
[Verse 2]
I'm sitting in my car
Wondering what we are
Damn, I did it again
I don't know how I let it come this far
With you I never learn
That's why I never turn back
I got it bad
All that you gotta do is say the word
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold my tongue
You're the one I want, boy
I don't care 'bout love
Whatever this is, it feels right
[Chorus]
You're like a one way trip, but I'm ready to leave
I've got my mind made up that you've got what I need
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
Oh boy, I know it's bad, what you're doin' to me
'Cause when I think of you it gets harder to breathe
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
[Post-Chorus]
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You're like a one way trip, but I'm ready to leave

You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
[Post-Chorus]
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
