We're the furious lovers, my man
We came here tonight to kick of our station (You know that)
We're six stars shining bright (That's right)
The furious love sensation
So ladies move your feet
Come on and boogie to the beat
Because the furious lovers are on the move and no one can compete
So what you gotta do is
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo
And that means you
I guess there's a party going on
(Can) Can keep from getting on the dance floor
The music sounds so sweet (So sweet)
Make me wanna get up out my seat
Just a bit tired but I'm (Still) still getting down (Getting down)
With ten shows to do, I said, "The lovers on the microphone"
Funky sound
Can't, won't, don't stop, rocking to the rhythm
'Cause I get down even when I'm walking in the spot
Watching the girl get high (Rock, rockin' the spot)
Good dances on the new beat pop
Could've, would've, should stop rocking to the rhythm
'Cause I, get down, when Flash is on the beat box
(Male) He Mel
(Female) Shake that thing, that's it, right
(Male) Oh, yeah, rock all night
(Male) Hey, hey girl, can you? approve these lovers?
The place was really jumping to the,
(Freaky) to the rhythm of the beat box
The girls were so divine (So Fine)
Baby, you blew my mind
I saw this lady and she really made my day
Every time I asked to sit and talk she would turn around and say
"If I should've, would've, should you know,
I can't, won't, don't stop rocking to the rhythm
'Cause I, get down, 'Cause I, get down, 'Cause I, get down
'Cause I, get down, when Flash is on the beat box"
Yes, I see you girl
