Bust A Move Lyrics
[00:16.70] This here's a jam for all the fellas
[00:18.83] Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us
[00:20.72] Get shot down 'cause you're overzealous
[00:22.55] Play hard to get, females get jealous
[00:24.82] Ok, smarty, go to a party
[00:26.96] Girls are scantily clad and showin' body
[00:28.80] A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
[00:30.99] But you're standin' on the wall like you was Poindexter
[00:33.25] Next day's function, high class luncheon
[00:35.08] Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
[00:37.09] Music comes on, people start to dance
[00:38.85] But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
[00:41.04] A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin'
[00:43.34] Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
[00:45.24] Says she wanna dance 'cause she likes the groove
[00:47.14] So come on, fatso, and just bust a move
[00:49.18] Ah, ah, yeah
[00:52.44] Ah, ah, ah, yeah
[00:55.51] Ah, ah, yeah (just bust a move!)
[01:00.57] Ah, ah, yeah, ah, ah
[01:05.92] You're on a mission and you're wishin'
[01:07.92] Someone could cure your lonely condition
[01:09.64] Lookin' for love in all the wrong places
[01:12.06] No fine girls, just ugly faces
[01:13.87] From frustration, first inclination
[01:15.99] Is to become a monk and leave the situation
[01:17.68] But every dark tunnel has a lighter hope
[01:19.83] So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
[01:22.02] New movie's showin', so you're goin'
[01:24.08] Could care less about the five you're blowin'
[01:26.08] Theatre gets dark just to start the show
[01:28.10] Then you spot a fine woman sittin' in your row
[01:29.90] She's dressed in yellow, she says "hello
[01:32.16] Come sit next to me, you fine fellow!"
[01:34.13] You run over there without a second to lose
[01:35.96] And what comes next? hey, bust a move!
[01:38.82] If you want it, you got it
[01:43.05] If you want it, baby, you got it, (just bust a move!)
[01:46.35] If you want it, you got it
[01:50.58] If you want it, baby, you got it
[01:54.27] In the city, ladies look pretty
[01:56.76] Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
[01:58.67] Tell a funny joke just to get some play
[02:00.46] Then you try to make a move and she says, "no way"
[02:02.52] Girls are fakin', goodness sakin'
[02:04.11] They want a man who brings home the bacon
[02:06.85] Got no money and you got no car
[02:08.84] Then you got no woman and there you are
[02:10.98] Some girls are sophistic, materialistic
[02:13.05] Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
[02:15.29] They're lyin' on the beach perpetratin' a tan
[02:17.22] So that a brother with money can be their man
[02:19.08] So on the beach you're strollin', real high-rollin'
[02:20.63] Everything you have is yours and not stolen
[02:23.19] A girl runs up with somethin' to prove
[02:25.16] So don't just stand there, bust a move!
[02:28.33] If you want it, you got it
[02:32.17] If you want it, baby, you got it (just bust a move)
[02:35.77] If you want it, you got it
[02:39.85] If you want it, baby, you got it (break it down for me fellas)
[02:43.66] Ah, ah
[02:48.06] Ah, ah
[02:52.25] Ah, ah
[02:57.16] Ah, ah
[03:00.12] Ah, ah, hey, yeah
[03:02.89] Ooh, uh, hey, yeah!
[03:08.13] Ooh, uh, hey, yeah!
[03:12.05] Ooh, uh, uh, uh
[03:15.84] Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
[03:17.98] In five days from now he's gonna marry
[03:20.13] He's hopin' you can make it there if you can
[03:21.82] 'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
[03:24.44] You say neato, check your libido
[03:26.30] And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
[03:28.38] The bride walks down just to start the wedding
[03:30.67] And there's one more girl you won't be getting
[03:32.52] So you start thinkin', then you start blinkin'
[03:34.43] A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin'
[03:36.52] She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
[03:38.61] And now you're feelin really fine 'cause the girl is stacked
[03:40.69] Reception's jumpin', bass is pumpin'
[03:42.91] Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin'
[03:44.73] Says she wants to dance to a different groove
[03:46.67] Now you know what to do, G, bust a move!
[03:49.15] If you want it, you got it, ah
[03:53.12] If you want it, baby, you got it (just bust a move), ah
[03:57.22] If you want it, you got it, ah
[04:01.68] If you want it, baby, you got it (move it, boy)
