Lyrics

My heart skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skips a beat.

(CN.C.)I

can (F#m)see

you’re (A)not

your (E)self.

E ven when you’re (Bm)here

where (E)else.

So (Bm)put an oth er re cord on, (F#m)kiss and leave me on.

(A)Noth ing real ly mat ters when we’re danc ing.

(CN.C.)Lis ten to the same sad song.

Play it on re peat ’cause (A)ev ’ry time we come this close my (E)heart skip, skips a beat.

So come on, (Bm)spin me a round.

Now I don’t (F#m)wan na go home ’cause when you (A)hold me like this you know my (E)heart skip, skips a beat.

I know I should, but I can’t (F#m)leave it a lone.

And when you (A)hold me like this, that’s when my (E)heart skip, skips a beat.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

(CN.C.)So

let (E)go.

If you real ly (Bm)have

me (E)slow.

(F#m)play it on re peat.

’Cause (CN.C.)all you ev er need to know is what you do to me.

And you hold me

So come on, (Bm)spin me a round.

Now I don’t (F#m)wan na go home ’cause when you (A)hold me like this you know my (E)heart skip, skips a beat.

I know I should, but I can’t (F#m)leave it a lone.

And when you (A)hold me like this, that’s when my (E)heart skip, skips a beat.

Oh, oh.

At the (CN.C.)start of the night I was like, let’s ’ave a team talk.

Play in’ with this la dy is n’t some thin’ I’d a gree for.

Flaps keep go in’ up and down like a see saw.

Should a just ta ken her to the ci ne ma to see saw.

(Bm)Would she let me sleep with her, I fig ured her fig ure’s a sure, sure win ner.

Plus I got a lead from the back, I’m a skip her.

So come on, Oh, oh.

(E)Heart skip, skips a beat.

Oh.

Oh.
