Bust a Move

This here's a jam for all the fellas
Trying to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down 'cause you're overzealous

Play hard to get, females get jealous
Okay smarty, go to a party
Girls are scantily clad and showing body
A chick walks by, you wish you could sex her
But you're standing on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next day's function, high-class luncheon
Food they're serving, and you're stone cold munching
Music comes on and you start to dance
Then you ate so much, you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walking, guys start gawking

Sits down next to you and starts talking
Says she wanna dance 'cause she likes the groove
So come on, fatso, and just bust a move

Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey (Just bust a move)
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah

You're on a mission and you're wishing
Someone could cure your lonely condition
Looking for love in all the wrong places
No fine girls, just ugly faces

From frustration, first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a light up hope
So don't hang yourself with the celibate rope

Your movie's showing, so you're going
Couldn't care less about the five you're blowing
Theater gets dark just to start the show
Then you spot a fine woman sitting in your row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello
Come sit next to me, you fine fellow"
You run over there without a second to lose
And what comes next? Hey, bust a move

If you want it
Then you've got it
If you want it
Baby, you've got it (Just bust a move)
If you want it
Then you've got it
If you want it
Baby, you've got it

In the city, ladies look pretty
And guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says "No way"

Girls are faking, goodness' sake, and
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money and you got no car
Then you got no woman, and there you are
Some girls are sadistic, materialistic
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
They're lying on the beach, perpetrating a tan
So a brother with money can be their man
So on the beach you're strolling, real high rolling

Everything you have is yours and not stolen
A girl runs up with something to prove

Yo, just don't stand there, bust a move

If you want it
Then you've got it
If you want it
Baby, you've got it (Just bust a move)
If you want it
Then you've got it
If you want it
Baby, you've got it (Break it down for me, fellas)

Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Just bust a move
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now, he's gonna marry
He's hoping you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man

You say "neato," check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
Bride walks down just to start the wedding
There's one more girl you won't be getting
You start thinking and then you start blinking
The bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking
She thinks you're kinda cute, so she winks back
And now you're feeling really firm 'cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumping, bass is pumping
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumping

Says she wanna dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do, just bust a move

If you want it
Then you've got it
If you want it
Baby, you've got it (Just bust a move)
If you want it
Then you've got it
If you want it
Baby, you've got it

Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, yeah
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Ah-ah, hey
Hey, hey, hey
