Usually I'm Ms. Pretty Please
Act nice and pray down on my knees
Never get too hot or act too cold
I'm the poster girl to self control

And if I'm making noise
Like I never do
And dancing with the boys
And maybe even you

As soon as my body hits that rhythm
Something starts happening to my system

I'm moving my feet like the floor's on fire
Screaming to my girls "Yeah, let's get wild!"
Setting off a chain reaction
Forgive me, I can't stop dancing

Blame it on the beat
Don't blame it on me
When I act crazy
Blame it on the beat

Usually I'm perfectly behaved
Never give you reason to complain
Then I hear the pounding of this track
About to move around like a maniac

And if I'm making noise
Like I never do
And dancing with the boys
And maybe even you

As soon as my body hits that rhythm
Something starts happening to my system

I'm moving my feet like the floor's on fire
Screaming to my girls, yeah, let's get wild!
Setting off a chain reaction
Forgive me, I can't stop dancing

Blame it on the beat
Don't blame it on me
When I act crazy
Blame it on the beat
Blame it on the beat
Blame it on the beat

All my manners out the door
When I hear foot on the floor
Jackal and Hyde
I turn it to my other side
Don't mean to make a scene
But I'm at the mercy of the power of the beat
Now sit down and watch me dance

Blame it on the beat
Don't blame it on me
When I act crazy
Blame it on the beat

As soon as my body hits that rhythm
Something starts happening to my system

Blame it on the beat
Don't blame it on beat
When I act crazy
Blame it on the beat
Blame it on the beat
Blame it on the beat
