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
[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
[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
