All lyrics by Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers - CHIC-ism 1992
CHIC MYSTIQUE YOUR LOVE JUSAGROOVE
HIT IT!
 
CHORUS:
Chic (Chic)
Mystique (Mystique)
Sweet (Sweet)
Release (Release)
 
Get down and get up
Groove me, work me
That's the move
Sure can't hurt this beat
Forget your problems
The groove will solve them
D A N C E with me
 
Chic Mystique a
Force that's driving
There is no surviving
Base and rhythm makes you move
Get into a Chic Groove
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
Come on
Let's go
Grab me, turn me
You got the moves (so smooth)
Body heat
 
Digging your style
So penetrating
(Ooh)
Captivating me
 
Chic Mystique the sound you hear
Makes it very clear
Starts your heart to pulsate
I know you can't wait
 
CHORUS
 
Chic Mystique
Music madness
Once you start
You'll be glad this
Cut is jumping
You'll be pumping
Sweat
You ain't heard nothing yet, jam
Shake, roll and rattle
Dance to a groove that'll have you
Stepping, letting your hair down
Because of a Chic sound
 
CHORUS
 
D A N C E
Coming over me (repeat 3x)
 
HIT IT (repeat)
 
CHORUS:
 
D A N C E
Coming over me
 
D A N C E
Coming over me
 
The fantasy, comes over me (repeat)
Word!
Hey yo!
Hit me!

1st VERSE AGAIN:
 
CHORUS
INTRO:
Your love, your love
Makes My World
Your love, sweet love
Makes my world go 'round
 
CHORUS:
Your love,
Makes my world go 'round
Go 'round, go 'round
Go 'round, go 'round
 
Your, sweet love
Makes my world go 'round
Go 'round, go 'round
Go 'round, go 'round
 
I pocket all my sorrow
Never fear tomorrow
We're so strong together
We can last forever
 
CHORUS
 
There's no love like ours
You're my Higher Power
I can't get too much
And it's never enough
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
What your love does for me
The key that sets me free
To be what I can be
With full intensity
When your name, I speak
Sometimes my soul gets week
All my eyes can see
(Is you)
 
In a world with me
In a world with me
In a world with me,(yeah)
In a world with me
 
There's one thing I know
I'll follow where you go
'Till the end of time
You'll always be mine
 
CHORUS (with ad libs)
 
(repeat to end)
Life going nowhere
Lost you don't care
Got no job, no money, no love
And got no honey
Bills are growing through the roof
Tell you what you gotta do
Max to the max
It's Jusagroove
 
CHORUS
 
Jusagroove baby
Jusagroove
Jusagroove
Jusagroove
 
Look before you leap
Think before you speak
Loose lips sink ships
Head trips could make you slip
So be cool
Don't be a fool
Tell you what you gotta do
Max to the max
It's Jusagroove
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
Just shoot your best shot
It might hit the spot
But don't lose your cool
Because life should be
Jusagroove
 
1st VERSE AGAIN
 
CHORUS (to the end)
SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL  ONE AND ONLY ONE DOIN' THAT THING TO ME
I'm gonna explain it
I hope you retain it
The Chic Mystique
Well, I would paint it
F U N K
Psychedelic or solid
Sewn into place like a stitch in a wallet
Together again
Yo! Let the dancing begin
And don't stop, until the floor
gets HOT!
Under your feet, because the music
Is smoking'
I'm not choking, my words are
well spoken
Yo, when I'm talkin' loud
And I'm sayin' much, about CHIC
and we're
Gonna touch
The heart of your soul
In a special way
Yo! Remember the jams way back
in the day
Well they speak for themselves
And so does this funky beat
So get on the floor and move your feet
And don't stop until you get enough
That might be never
'Cause we pull a lever-inside
That pulls on heart strings
Nile and Nard
Producers (The Dance Kings)
So here's the chance to relive the past
But in the present you'll hit that
dance floor
Fast
'Cause it's C H I C,
And that makes the jam "For Real"
'Cause it's something that you can feel
 
CHORUS
 
Feel----
Something that you can feel
Feel----
Something that you can feel
Feel----
Something that you can feel
Feel
 
Move!
I say that with conviction
The floor is so packed
You'll get high from the friction
Boom!
We'll fill the room with the dance move
Every time I rhyme on a Chic Groove
 
Come on with the force of an
army brigade
And we'll be rising on the charts
Like a high-top fade
So just
Grab your partner and Dosie/Doe
'Cause with the neat, Chic beat
You're good to go
A combination of style that's sleek
and unique
Put it together
There you have it, Chic! How
Can you dance when your socks are
Knocked off?
Rock so hard
We can knock your block off
Charlie,
Get on your Harley & ride
Step to the inside
'Cause we're coming with the force
And the bass is our weapon
Sending all the suckers
Stepping for real
 
CHORUS
 
The urge to merge and
surge from the Chic sound
You wanna get up
'Cause Man, you wanna get down
A sigh of relief
Becuse the band with the knack is back!
Kickin' the funk with soul
To Chic it's a snap
You wanna snap your fingers
And clap your hands
Your hair will stand on end
I mean every strand
We give no slack, 'cause the band
Is just too tight
I'm on the mic and I would like to invite
All the partygoers in the mood
for a treat
Sweet, now sugar-coated, 'cause the
music is,
CHIC
Ah yeah
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
Something that you can feel
Something that you can feel
Something that you can feel
Something that you can feel
Something you can feel (repeat)
You can feel
Feel---- (ad lib to end)
CHORUS:
You're my One
(one and only)
One & Only one
You're my One
 
You're my One
(one and only)
One & Only one
You're my One
 
Every time I see you
I surrender
To a feeling never known
 
Every time I hear you
Speak so tender
You break my heart of stone
 
So I learned
These words of wisdom
From one who's a cut above
 
You said with all your passion
In them
When you live true life
You love, true love
 
CHORUS
 
Comforting as sunshine
In my window
At the end of a rainy night
Awaken from a dream that echoes
Everything's all right
 
Something special
Happened to me
I've fallen under your spell
You've shown me how good it can be
So I might as well
Kiss & Tell
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
So many roads I've travelled
And wandered where I've been
Here and there
Everywhere
On the outside looking in
The future is uncertain
You can't guarantee tomorrow
But wichever the way
The wind blows
In my heart
I'll always know, I'll always know
You're my one and only one
 
CHORUS
You're know you're my one
My only one
You're second to none
 
You're my one
You're
You're second to none, baby
Oh
My baby
 
(ad libs)
INTRO:
Do, do, do, do, do
Doin' that thing to me
Do, do, do, do, do
Doin' it
 
CHORUS:
Doin' that thing
Doin' that thing
Doin' that thing, to me
(Do, do, do, do, do, doing it)
 
Doin' that thing
Doin' that thing
Doin' that thing, to me
(Do, do, do, do, do, doing it)
 
There's a magic
Only you posses
Cast your spell
A master of the kiss
 
Whisk me away
To another time and place
Uh - Huh
Uh - Huh
 
Like Eve to the Apple
Some things
 
I'm powerless to resist
 
CHORUS
 
A modern day Merlin
Who looks through my own eyes
You understand
Don't even have to trust
 
Some tell us of a Cinderella
(Uh huh, Uh huh)
But oh you're my Prince Charming
One kiss from you changed my hole life
 
CHORUS
IN IT TO WIN IT CHICISM
CHORUS:
Get in it, to win it
Get in it
Get in it, to win it
Get in it
 
Get in it, to win it
Get in it
Get in it, to win it
Get in it
 
It may not be my place
To say this to your face
So clearly
So clearly
Hope you're not the type
To drop all kinds of hype
Sincerely
Sincerely
I-need-to-know-if-we-can-grow-into-
this-mode-together
Let's set the record straight
Don't wait 'till it's too late
Let nothing stand in your way
 
CHORUS
 
It may not be my place
To say this to your face
I wish
I wish
These personal remarks
Could open up your heart
Honest
Honest
I-need-to-know-if-we-can-grow-into-
this-mode-together
It's all I have to say
I am here to stay
Let nothing stand in your way
 
CHORUS
 
Get on down
Just get on down
 
1st VERSE AGAIN
 
Get on down on it
Baby make it fit
Don't just stop don't quit
Just Get down on it
 
Get on down on it
Baby make it fit
Don't just stop no
Don't just stop no
Don't you ever quit
 
CHORUS (w/ad libs to end)
Ladies and Gentlemen CHIC!
 
A show of hands, I thought so
Another band, I don't know
As good as this one you can't resist
One jam we'll pay, we'll rock to
the break of
Day and night, we'll keep you working
Take my lead, your head will be jerking
Up and down, you'll lose control of
The moment you get a load of . . . CHIC
 
CHORUS:
Chic, Chic
Chic
Chic, Chic
C.H
C.H.I.C.
 
Crisp cliches and witty words
Vocalists that chirp like birds
Rhymes topped with sweet harmonies
Magic fingers on the keys
There's more to us than meets the eye
Break it down and we'll show you why
Love what we do, we do you 'cause
we love it
Get you so high that you can't
rise above it
Chic
 
CHORUS
 
Put your hands together one time
For the crew that brought you
"GOOD TIMES"
Don't miss a beat, the flow is complete
The horns will blow you out of your seat
A friend by your side, make sure he's
the dancing type
Right, to dance all night
Straight to the main floor
Like an apple hard-core
Much more in store, I'm sure you'll adore
What's the allure that you can't ignore
Could it be the things that I'm saying
Could it be the strings playing
Moves your soul to a new height
It's a good feeling, yeah, damn right!
I know it's the combination
It's the sensation
 
BRIDGE
Back on track, it's about to happen
You know the runners' check out
the rappin'
Energize, once you feel the funk
Just like Jordan before a slam dunk
 
Perfection, and we're on the brink
A live band, and we're all in sync
Sister to Sister, Bro' to Bro'
So feel the flow and enjoy the show
C.H.
C.H.I.C.
C.H.
C.H.I.C.
Wait a minute!
Work hard, and don't mind the overtime
Feel the rhythm, watch the heat climb
It builds jus' like a skyscraper
It won't taper, the rest are fakers
Check your butt, you know you can't sit
Chic is live, on the real tip
Tighter than a strongman's grip
Make you hop and bop 'cause it's hip
The best band you could ever find
Eureka, this groove's a gold mine
A new sound and it's called CHICISM
Don't sweat it, get lost in the rhythm
Chic
 
CHORUS
(repeat to end)
MY LOVE'S FOR REAL TAKE MY LOVE HIGH
INTRO:
My love's for real
My love's for real
My love's for real
My love is so, so for real
My love's for real
 
I'm the right one
The right one for ya
Can't ignore it now
Never take a risk
'Cause you don't look like a gambler
Here's a sure thing, no doubt
In times of uncertainty
Here's a guarantee
 
My love's for real
 
CHORUS:
My love's for real
My-y love
(My love's for real)
My love's for real
My-y love
(So for real is my love)
My love's for real
My-y love
(So for real is my love)
My love's for real
My-y love
 
Take me baby
To where the love grows
And my heart knows how to
Fill you up with
All the warmth and good love
That you wanna know now
In times of uncertainty
Here's a guarantee
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
Ooh, make me yours boy
This is a good deal
I've got the love, the love that's so, so
So for real
So for real
So for real is my love
So for real is my love
 
CHORUS
 
Oh My Love (repeat)
Tell me what you want boy (ad libs)
 
CHORUS (w/ad libs, to end)
Late in the evening
During the summertime
Desire is so hot!
Fell my temperature climb
 
Hot to the touch
Sweet lover's bite
Burns like a flame
Beneath my skin
Outta sight
 
All I know is
I just want to love you
All over and over
 
CHORUS:
Take my Love
Please take my love
Take my Love
Take my Love
 
Take my Love
Please take my love
Take my Love
Take my Love
 
Gonna love you so hard
Don't be afraid
They'll be no stoppin'
Until love's price is paid
 
In full with interest
Here's the bottom line
I'm sure my securities
Will bring you "Peace of Mind"
All I know is
I just want to love you
All over and over
 
CHORUS
 
All I know is
I just want to love you
All over and over
 
CHORUS
 
Take my love won't you please take my love
Take My Love, take my love (repeat)
 
Take My Love (repeat w/ad libs to end)
CHORUS:
High, High
 
Music never stops
Makes me
High
 
Like the feeling
That you're feeling
When you' re stoned to the bone
 
Don't get played out
Never fade out
'Cause you stayed out
All night long
 
Stayed out all night long
 
Gotta have It
Gotta habit
 
There's a monkey on your back .
Against the wall
In the valley of the dolls
Groovin' danceamaniacs
 
CHORUS:
High, High
 
Music never stops
Makes me
High, High
 
Take it to the top
Let's get high
On a trip
The natural tip
I don't need no kinda' drugs
 
Sip with care
But don't be scared
You can never
Get too much
(Never get too much)
 
Gimme music
We can use it
There's no turning back for us
All for one, here's to freedom
In groove we trust
 
CHORUS
 
Take it to the top
Let's get
 
High-High-High-High
High-High-High-High (repeat)
 
CHORUS
 
Da da
Ba da da da dat Ba ba da da
Music Never stops makes me
Da da
Ba da da da dat Ba ba da da
Take It To The Top
Let's get
Ba ba da da
High, da, High da
Ba ba da da
Music....
