[Verse 1]
Usually, I'm Miss Pretty Please
I'm nice, then pray down on my knees
Never get too hot or act too cold
I'm the poster girl with self-control

[Refrain]
But now, I'm makin' noise (Like I never do)
And dancin' with the boys (Maybe even with you)
As soon as my body hears that rhythm
Somethin' starts happenin' to my system

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm movin' my feet like the floor's on fire
Screamin' to my girls, "Yeah, let's get wild!"
Settin' off a chain reaction
Forgive me, I can't stop dancin'

[Chorus]
(Ah) Blame it on the beat
(Ah) Don't blame it on me
(Ah) When I act crazy
(Ah) Blame it on the beat

[Verse 2]
Usually, I'm perfectly behaved
Never give you reason to complain
Then I hear the poundin' of this track
Start to move 'round like a maniac
[Refrain]
But now, I'm makin' noise (Like I never do)
And dancin' with the boys (Maybe even with you)
As soon as my body hears that rhythm
Somethin' starts happenin' to my system

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm movin' my feet like the floors on fire
Screamin' to my girl, "Yeah, let's get wild!"
Settin' off a chain reaction
Forgive me, I can't stop dancin'

[Chorus]
(Ah) Blame it on the beat
(Ah) Don't blame it on me
(Ah) When I act crazy
(Ah) Blame it on the beat
(Ah) Blame it on the beat
(Ah) Blame it on the beat

[Bridge]
All my manners out 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 (Woo)
Watch me dance
One, two, three, four
[Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Blame it on the beat
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Don't blame it on me
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) When I act crazy
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Blame it on the beat
As soon as my body hears that rhythm
Somethin' starts happenin' to my system
(Oh-oh-oh-oh; woo) Blame it on the beat
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Don't blame it on me
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) When I act crazy
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Blame-blame-blame it on the beat
(Woo) Blame it on the beat
(Ah) Blame-blame-blame it on the beat
