Heart Skips a Beat Lyrics
[Intro: Olly Murs, Jordan Stephens]
My heart skips-skips-skips-skips-skips-skips a beat
Olly Murs, true lad
Rizzle Kicks, yeah
[Verse 1: Olly Murs]
I can see
You're not yourself
Even when you're here with me
I know that you're somewhere else
[Pre-Chorus: Olly Murs]
So put another record on, kiss and lead me on
Nothing really matters when we're dancing
Listen to the same sad song playing on repeat
'Cause every time we come this close, my heart skips, skips a beat
[Chorus: Olly Murs]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
'Cause when you hold me like this
You know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this
That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
My heart skips-skips-skips-skips-skips-skips a beat
Olly Murs, true lad
Rizzle Kicks, yeah
[Verse 1: Olly Murs]
I can see
You're not yourself
Even when you're here with me
I know that you're somewhere else
[Pre-Chorus: Olly Murs]
So put another record on, kiss and lead me on
Nothing really matters when we're dancing
Listen to the same sad song playing on repeat
'Cause every time we come this close, my heart skips, skips a beat
[Chorus: Olly Murs]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
'Cause when you hold me like this
You know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this
That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
[Post-Chorus: Jordan Stephens]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2: Olly Murs]
So hung up
We can't let go
If you really have to leave
One more time, just move me slow
[Pre-Chorus: Olly Murs]
So put another record on, play it on repeat
Nothing really matters when we're dancing
'Cause all you ever need to know is what you do to me
And every time you hold me close, my heart skips, skips a beat
[Chorus: Olly Murs]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
'Cause when you hold me like this
You know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this
That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
[Post-Chorus: Jordan Stephens]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2: Olly Murs]
So hung up
We can't let go
If you really have to leave
One more time, just move me slow
[Pre-Chorus: Olly Murs]
So put another record on, play it on repeat
Nothing really matters when we're dancing
'Cause all you ever need to know is what you do to me
And every time you hold me close, my heart skips, skips a beat
[Chorus: Olly Murs]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
'Cause when you hold me like this
You know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this
That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
[Post-Chorus: Jordan Stephens]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 3: Rizzle Kicks]
Rizzle Kicks, yeah
At the start of the night I was like, what? Let's have a team talk
Playing with this lady isn't something I'd agree for
Vibes keep going up and down like a see-saw
Should have just taken her to the cinema to see Saw
Ooh, she let me sleep with her, I figured her figure's a sure, sure winner
Plus I got a lead from the back, I'm a skipper
You make my heart skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip a beat (Skip a beat)
[Chorus: Olly Murs]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
'Cause when you hold me like this
You know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this
That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
[Post-Chorus: Jordan Stephens, Olly Murs]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah
Heart skips, skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
My heart skips, skips a beat
Rizzle Kicks, yeah
At the start of the night I was like, what? Let's have a team talk
Playing with this lady isn't something I'd agree for
Vibes keep going up and down like a see-saw
Should have just taken her to the cinema to see Saw
Ooh, she let me sleep with her, I figured her figure's a sure, sure winner
Plus I got a lead from the back, I'm a skipper
You make my heart skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip a beat (Skip a beat)
[Chorus: Olly Murs]
So come on, spin me around
Now I don't wanna go home
'Cause when you hold me like this
You know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this
That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
[Post-Chorus: Jordan Stephens, Olly Murs]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah
Heart skips, skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
My heart skips, skips a beat
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
The first single from Olly Murs' second album In Case You Didn’t Know, and the only song in that album that Murs did not receive a writing credit for.
The song was originally released in the UK featuring British urban duo Rizzle Kicks, and topped the chart there on August 2011. When the song was released in the US on May 2012, Rizzle Kicks had been replaced with American duo Chiddy Bang instead, a move that both Murs and Rizzle Kicks publicly decried.
