All lyrics by Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers of the CHIC org. - Risqué 1979 GOOD TIMES MY FEET KEEP DANCING MY FORBIDDEN LOVER Good times, these are the good times Leave your cares behind, these are the good times Good times, these are the good times Our new state of mind, these are the good times   Happy days are here again The time is right for makin' friends Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten Come tomorrow, let's all do it again   Boys will be boys, better let them have their toys Girls will be girls, cute pony tails and curls Must put an end to this stress and strife I think I want to live the sporting life   Good times, these are the good times Leave your cares behind, these are the good times Good times, these are the good times Our new state of mind, these are the good times   A rumor has it that it's getting late Time marches on, just can't wait The clock keeps turning, why hesitate You silly fool, you can't change your fate Let's cug the rug, a little jive and jitterbug We want the best, we won't settle for less Don't be a drag, participate Clams on the half shell and roller-skates, roller-skates   Good times, these are the good times Leave your cares behind, these are the good times Good times, these are the good times Our new state of mind, these are the good times (*) Dancing, dancing My feet keep dancing, dancing, dancing My feet keep dancing, dancing My feet keep dancing, dancing, dancing   I need some help, I get beside myself And I got so many things in life to do Like, reach for a star Or maybe shoot ten under par I'd like to do it all before I'm through Fly into space or maybe save the human race All these things seem so appealing But I'll never get the chance Cause all I do is dance My mama said my brains are in my feet   (* repeat 2 times)   Papa told me Every night when he would scold me He knew I'd never make him very proud So I ran away from home to live all alone And make myself a standout in the crowd Then it hit, my ideas began to fit I had to be what I was meant to be Now my name is up in lights And I hoof here every night They were right My brains are in my feet   (* repeat 4 times)   (* repeat and fade) (*) My forbidden lover I don't want no other   (*) repeat   I fell in love And I didn't want to do it cause I knew That your love wasn't true You try to hide that sinister appearance And the lies, (whew) those alibies You give your love to anyone who asks Yes you do And I know that it's true But still I care And I want to see you there When I need, yes indeed you are   (* repeat 4 times)   I can't resist That very strong urge to have you dear Oh please come here Just let me love you Anytime and any place we dare We'll just let them stare You want to love everybody And everything you can You're the typical man Yet still and all I'm at your beck and call When you need, yes indeed you are   (* repeat 4 times)   My love is forbidden We keep our love hidden (repeat 4 times)   (* repeat and fade) CAN'T STAND TO LOVE YOU  WILL YOU CRY WHAT ABOUT ME (*) Every night I pray Can't stand to love you And every night and day I can't stand to love you babe   Surprise baby, here I am I'd like to have a few words with you Just to talk about all of these things That you put me through Oh no daddy, she can stay For once in our lives We can get a straight story Little punk, do it for me Or I'll number your days   (* repeat)   I know that you are a sneak You do these things behind my back You could try to be discreet I let you go Now you think I'm a sap The way that you treated me You'd think I were into S&M I can't deal with it You won't get away with it   (* repeat and fade) (*) When you hear this song will you cry 'Cause you know you're wrong - will you cry   Love is pain and pain could pleasure If you would have only realized And now it's your turn to cry The camel's back broke tonight It's too late to try   (* repeat)   Tears roll down my cheeks and You were never around to wipe my eyes For years you played hide and seek With my love You are just that kind of guy   (* repeat 4 times)   (* repeat 8 times) (*) Strike up, up the band Makin' music is our plan Got to feel the rhythm if you can Just want to strike up, up the band   (* repeat)   Got to feel the rhythm Got to feel the rhythm Got to feel the rhythm   (* repeat and fade) A WARM SUMMER NIGHT (*) Papi, could you love me tonight On a warm summer night It would be so nice tonight   Te quiero papi Could you love me tonight On a warm summer night It would be so nice tonight   (* repeat 5 times) Te quiero papi Thanks to Soeren from Denmark who transcribed all lyrics except 'Good Times'.
