Píseň: Movin' And A Grovin'

Sam Cooke

Twistin' The Night Away
I've got a girl and man she's oh so fine
 someday I'd like to make her mine oh mine
 she's fine, but she won't give me a chance
 when I want to sweettalk
 all she wants to do is dance


 let me tell you
 she likes the movin and a groovin
 man, she likes the movin and a groovin
 rock in the night out and the day in
 she likes the swishing and the swaying
 oh, she like the moving and a grovin
 watch her move move move move


 ask her to a movie just the other day
 try to make her relax in a different way
 it didn't pay, I didn't even stand a chance
 she said you go to movie
 I think that I'd rather dance


 she made it plain to me
 she likes the movin' and a groovin'
 she likes the movin and a groovin
 rock in the night out and the day in
 she likes the swishing and the swaying
 man, she like the moving and a grovin
 watch her move move move move


 I've got the situation well in hand
 I found out that if I'm going to be man
 I've gotta be a man
 if I'm gonna stand a chance
 If I'm gonna make her my woman
 I ve just got to learn and dance


 Now you wanna see me
 I'm doing the movin' and a grovin'
 I'm doing the movin' and a grovin'
 we're rocking the night out and the day in
 we're doing the swishing and the swaying
 I'm doing the movin' and a grovin'
 watch me move I'm movin movin
