Skippin A Beat
Zara Larsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I can't hold my tongue
You're the one I want, boy
Whatever this is it feels right
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 everytime that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You've got my heart skip-skip, heart skipping a beat
Oh boy, I know it's bad, what you're doing to me
'Cause when I think of you it gets harder to breathe
'Cause everytime that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You've got my heart skip-skip, heart skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip-skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip-skipping a beat
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've got it bad, all that you gotta do is say the word
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'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've got my heart skip-skip, heart skipping a beat
Oh boy, I know it's bad, what you're doing 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've got my heart skip-skip, heart skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip-skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip-skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip-skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip skipping a beat
You've got my heart skip-skipping a beat
The lyrics of Zara Larsson's song "Skippin A Beat" describe the internal conflict of a woman who is attracted to a man that her friends don't like. She's heard their criticisms of him, but she can't help but be drawn to him. The first verse explains how her friends have talked down the man, telling her that she shouldn't hang around him. She acknowledges that she needs to figure out what to do, but she's already on her way to see him. She can't hold her tongue about her feelings for him, stating that he's the one she wants and that she doesn't care about love; whatever this is, it feels right.
The chorus repeats the phrase "You've got my heart skip-skip, heart skipping a beat," indicating that she is falling for this man hard. She compares him to a one-way trip she's ready to take, indicating that she's all in. However, she knows that what she's doing is bad because she can't breathe when she thinks of him. She can't get enough of him, and the feelings he stirs within her are causing her heart to skip.
In the second verse, she acknowledges that she's done this before and doesn't know how she's let it get to this point again. But she's hooked and can't turn back. She's got it bad, and all he has to do is say the word. The chorus repeats, further emphasizing the intense feelings she has for this man.
Overall, the song describes the internal battle of a woman falling hard for someone she knows isn't necessarily good for her. The beat is upbeat and lively, adding to the feeling of falling head over heels in love.
