Heart Skips a Beat
Olly Murs Lyrics

My heart skips-skips-skips-skips-skips-skips a beat
I feel a sudden and irregular, skipped heartbeat caused by emotional excitement or stress

I can see, you're not yourself
I can tell that you're feeling down or not acting like your usual self

Even when you're here, with me
Even though you're physically present, your mind seems somewhere else

So put another record on
Let's play some music to lift our spirits and forget our worries

Kiss and leave me on
Kiss me and keep the energy going without worrying about the outcome

Nothing really matters when we're dancing
When we dance, we feel carefree and all of our problems seem to disappear

Listen to the same sad song playing on repeat
Even though the song is sad, we repeatedly listen to it because it reminds us of good times and helps us feel better

'Cause every time we come this close, my heart skips, skips a beat
Whenever we get close together, I feel a strong, exhilarating flutter in my chest

So come on, spin me around
Take my hand and spin me around in a dance of energy and joy

Now I don't wanna go home
I don't want the night to end because I'm enjoying our time together so much

'Cause when you hold me like this
When you hold me close, all my worries and stress disappear

I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
I recognize that I should move on, but I can't resist being with you

And when you hold me like this
When you hold me in your arms, I feel an indescribable sense of comfort and happiness

That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
That's when I feel my heart skip a beat with excitement and joy

At the start of the night I was like, what? Let's have a team talk
At the beginning of the night, I wasn't interested in pursuing a romantic relationship and wanted to just enjoy the company of others

Playing with this lady isn't something I'd agree for
I didn't want to flirt or play games with this woman, but my feelings changed throughout the night

Vibes keep going up and down like a see-saw
My emotions and feelings towards this woman are constantly fluctuating

Should have just taken her to the cinema to see "Saw"
I should have just taken her to see a movie instead of trying to pursue a romantic relationship

Ooh, she let me sleep with her, I figured her figure's a sure, sure winner
I became physically intimate with her and thought her appearance was very attractive

Plus I got a lead from the back, I'm a skipper
I got close to her and took advantage of the situation by becoming intimate with her

You make my heart skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip a beat
Being around you causes my heart to beat uncontrollably and fills me with excitement and joy
