Please bypass this heart

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
