Usually I'm Miss Pretty Please,
I'm nice and pray down on my knees,
never get too hot or act too cold.
I'm the poster girl of self control.

But now I'm making noise (like I never do) and
dancing with the boys (maybe even you)
As soon as my body hears that rhythm,
something starts happening to my system.
(Oo) I'm moving my feet like the floor's on fire,
Screaming to my girls "Yeah, lets get wild."
Setting off, a chain reaction,
Forgive me I can't stop dancing.
Oh! Blame it on the beat.
Oh! Don't blame it on me.
Oh! When I act crazy.
Oh! Blame it on the beat.

Usually I'm perfectly behaved,
never give you reason to complain.
Then I hear the pounding of this track,
start to move 'round like a maniac.

But now I'm making noise (like I never do) and
dancing with the boys (maybe even you)
As soon as my body hears that rhythm,
something starts happening to my system.
(Oo) I'm moving my feet like the floor's on fire,
Screaming to my girls "Yeah, lets get wild."
Setting off, a chain reaction,
Forgive me I can't stop dancing.
Oh! Blame it on the beat.
Oh! Don't blame it on me.
Oh! When I act crazy.
Oh! Blame it on the beat.

Oh! Blame it on the beat.
Oh! Blame it on the beat.

I'm a menace at the door
when I hear Fool on the floor
Jekyll and Hyde,
I turn into 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,
Watch me dance (Whoa!),
Watch me dance.

1234!
(Oh) Oh! Blame it on the beat
(Oh) Oh! Don't blame it on me
(Oh) Oh! When I act crazy
(Oh) Oh! Blame it on the beat
As soon as my body hears that rhythm
Something starts happening to my system
(Oh) Whoa! Blame it on the beat
(Oh) Oh! Don't blame it on me
(Oh) Oh! When I act crazy
(Oh) Oh! Blame-blame-blame it on the beat
Whoa! Blame it on the beat
Oh! Blame-blame-blame it on the beat
