Verse 1 - Maxi

Yesterday I thought I was the luckiest around
Little did I know that you were gonna take me down
'Cause a thousand tears won't wash away the pain
'Cause the more I think of you just leaves me hangin' round again
I got to find a way to keep a hold onto my pride (SHAGGY says ) I wanna hold you girl
'Cause I know that even when you left you took my side
And the love you felt for me will always be (SHAGGY says ) You'll always be by my side
But you had to go, get out on your own
Take a look at the world you don't see (SHAGGY says ) Watch this

Chorus Sung By Maxi

No you never skipped a beat
When you walked out on me
Like a butterfly I see, you're free (SHAGGY says ) I'm dyin' to see your face girl
And a tear rolled down your cheek,
As you waved goodbye to me
But you kept on walking never skipped a beat (SHAGGY says ) Japanese Princess

Verse 2 - Maxi

Sometimes I'll get used to spending nights
Here on my own (SHAGGY says ) Umm Hmmmm
Then I'll have to learn to greet the morning all alone
Yesterday's we shared were like a dream (SHAGGY says ) What a vision
At night I reach out for you baby
And wonder what might have been
I tell myself we'll try again
Another time and place (SHAGGY says ) Lovah, haha
Every where I look I always see your face (SHAGGY says ) Yes Maxi, tell her
We know this was never meant be (SHAGGY says ) How could it
So you had to go, just get out on your own
Girl, without me (SHAGGY says ) Watch this

Chorus Sung By Maxi

You never skipped a beat
When you walked out on me
Like a butterfly I see, you're free (SHAGGY says ) Di ya hear dat
Then a tear rolls down your cheek,
And I knew it had to be (SHAGGY says ) Awaagh
When you waved goodbye and walked away from me

Refrain - SHAGGY

I reminisce on your love
And it's bringin' me tears
Naw mah 'eart skip a beat
I wondered if she really cared
I miss the stroking of your fingers through my facial hairs
Just the thought of you leavin' really runs me scared
I'm expressing my feelin's please don't think that I am weird
You listen ah doberman with dah internet affair
I love ya bad, girl I'm sad
And I missin' all I had
I know you left me an' gone
And it's drivin' me mad

Chorus Sung By Maxi

Oh You never skipped a beat (SHAGGY says ) Hmm hmmmm
When you walked out on me
Like a butterfly I see, you're free (SHAGGY says ) Tell'em again
Then a tear rolls down your cheek,
And you waved goodbye to me (SHAGGY says ) She got me in tears
But you kept on walking never skipped a beat (SHAGGY says ) Yes rude boy

Closing

And you never skipped a beat when you walked out me (SHAGGY says ) Wicked n' wild
Like a butterfly I see, you're free (SHAGGY says ) Dancehall style
Then a tear rolls down your cheek,
As you kept on walking never skipped a beat
