Please Bypass This Heart Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Please Bypass This Heart 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, Michael Utley 

1985 

"Close your eyes and click your heels, think of skating rinks and 

spinning wheels. Of those who will and those who won't, some 

hearts break while others don't." 

Every day I read about these operations 

That make a heart that's weak so strong again 

I relate it to my own situation 

And now I know just what to say to you 

Chorus: 

Please bypass this heart 

Until I'm well again 

Let's not even start, to fall, where we fell again 

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat 

Don't tear it apart 

Please bypass this heart 

Please bypass this heart

In simpler times I didn't need a lotta healin' 

My heart was young and strong and worked just fine 

But now you've shown me there's a hurtin' side of feelin' 

There's just one cure and here's what you must do 

Chorus: 

Please bypass this heart 

Until I'm well again 

Let's not even start, to fall, where we fell again 

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat 

Don't tear it apart 

Please bypass this heart 

Please bypass this heart 

-- Spoken: 

"Skaters reverse" 

"Couples only" 

"All skate, all skate"

Chorus: 

Please bypass this heart 

Until I'm well again 

Let's not even start, to fall, where we fell again 

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat 

Don't tear it apart 

Please bypass this heart 

Please bypass this heart
