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

- 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

- 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

- One kiss from you changed my hole life
