Whiplash Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A baby moonlight hits the spotlight
I'm on my flight to take you away
I'm feeling so free, you're making me crazy
That's what you do, that's what you do, let's go now

[Pre-Chorus]
Lickety split
A girl in a bit as she falls in a pit saying, "Hello, darling!"
Twisted insanity, fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Well, c'mon, boy

[Chorus]
Uh, c'mon and take me to the other side
I'm blown away when I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash and get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash

It's up to you and I don't wanna give you clues
We're moving fast, I think we got enough to lose
So, don't look back
Or else we're gonna crash and get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash

[Verse 2]
Like the first kiss with a sweet list
Of some love songs, oh yeah (So sexy, life is sassy, sassy, sassy)
And with this melody falling over me
It makes me weak, so damn weak, so let's go now
[Pre-Chorus]
Lickety split
A girl in a bit as she falls in a pit saying, "Hello, darling!"
Twisted insanity, fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Well, c'mon, boy

[Chorus]
Uh, c'mon and take me to the other side
I'm blown away when I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash and get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash

It's up to you and I don't wanna give you clues
We're moving fast, I think we got enough to lose
So, don't look back
Or else we're gonna crash and get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash

[Interlude]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la (La-la)
La-la-la (Oh, yeah)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la (La-la)
La-la-la (So, let's go now)
[Chorus]
Uh, c'mon and take me to the other side
I'm blown away when I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash and get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash

It's up to you and I don't wanna give you clues
We're moving fast, I think we got enough to lose
So, don't look back
Or else we're gonna crash and get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash

[Outro]
(Whiplash, whiplash, whiplash, whiplash)

It was written by Greg Kurstin (who produced the song), Nicole Morier and Britney Spears.

The song was originally written for Britney Spears after she began working on her 2008 album “Circus,” but it didn’t make the album’s final tracklisting.
According to Songfacts, Selena told MTV News:

I just heard the song; I fell in love with it. They gave it to me, the producers who worked on it, and I came and sang and saw that she had co-written it, so I was very excited.

I love the lyrics saying you’re completely in love with someone and you’re going to crash into them and get whiplash. The funny thing about that is that I actually did get into an accident two days before I recorded that song. I didn’t get whiplash. It wasn’t a bad accident, but it was really funny.
