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 wont, some

Hearts break while others dont."

Every day I read about these operations

That make a heart thats 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 Im well again

Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat

Dont tear it apart

Please bypass this heart

Please bypass this heart

In simpler times I didnt need a lotta healin

My heart was young and strong and worked just fine

But now youve shown me theres a hurtin side of feelin

Theres just one cure and heres what you must do

Chorus:

Please bypass this heart

Until Im well again

Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat

Dont 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 Im well again

Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat

Dont tear it apart

Please bypass this heart

Please bypass this heart
