Behind the Groove Lyrics by Teena Marie

Lady T

1980

[Intro]
Hey baby (oh yeah?)
Let me take you to Xanadu (where is that?)
Behind the groove (well alright)
[Verse 1]
(Behind the groove)
There's another side inside of you
(Get behind the groove)
You can make your wildest dreams come true
[Hook]
So get on up (Behind the groove)
And shake your body (Get behind the groove)
Open up and take the music in (Get behind the groove)
You better get on up (Behind the groove)
Come to the party (Get behind the groove)
Life is waitin' for you to begin
[Verse 2]
(Behind the groove)
You can dance forever and a day
(Behind the groove)
There is romance just a glance away
[Chorus]
Got to move, get behind the groove
Why don't you let your spirit play?
Another me and another you
If we make it through to Xanadu, ooh
(Shake your body, shake your body)
(Shake your body, shake) Come on, I'll take you to Xanadu
(Shake your body, shake your body)
(Shake your body, shake)
[Verse 3]
(Behind the groove)
You can put away your masquerade
(Behind the groove)
You won't ever have to be afraid
[Hook]
So get on up (Behind the groove)
And shake your body (Get behind the groove)
Open up and take the music in (Get behind the groove)
You better get on up (Behind the groove)
Come to the party (Get behind the groove)
Life is waitin' for you to begin
[Verse 4]
(Behind the groove)
Open your eyes and see what's in store
(Behind the groove)
I must be the one you're searchin' for
[Chorus]
Got to move, get behind the groove
Why don't you let your spirit play?
Another me and another you
If we make it through to Xanadu, ooh
You are to go with me
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Everybody sing, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Groove me, groove me, groove me, groove me
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Chorus]
Got to move, get behind the groove
Why don't you let your spirit play?
Another me and another you
If we make it through to Xanadu, ooh
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Groove me, groove me
Groove me, groove me, groove me, groove me
You are to groove with me
