Ghostbusters
Bobby Brown Lyrics

You want somethin' done?
Are you looking for action?

You gotta do it yourself
You have to take charge and do it yourself.

Ow!
An expression of excitement or enthusiasm.

If I was you, and you were me, you ought a be winning
If we switched roles, we'd both be successful.

If you want something better, you gotta want to keep your all
If you desire a better life, you must give it your best effort.

'Cause I believe, so much do we, they know we're not kidding
I have faith in us and our abilities, and others recognize our determination.

If you feel the same as me, girl, you gotta learn to take the fall
If you share my drive, you need to be willing to take risks and handle the consequences.

Now I find out that nothing is given
I realize that success isn't handed to you.

Don't know where the cards may fall
I have no idea what the future holds or how events will unfold.

All I know is that we gotta get it
I know that we have to achieve our goals.

We've gotta make it on our own
We have to succeed by our own efforts.

Well I guess we're gonna have to take control
We have no other option but to seize control.

(On our own)
Independently, without relying on anyone else.

If it's up to us, we've got to take it home
Success depends on us, and we must achieve it.

Can't you see that all we need to be a go-getter
Don't you see that all we require is to be ambitious and motivated?

Gotta make your own decisions, gotta go for what ya know
You need to make your own choices and pursue what you believe to be correct.

There comes a time in our lives, you want to be bigger
At some point in our lives, we desire to achieve more.

Gotta keep, keep on pushing, you gotta learn to take control, yeah
We must persist and strive to take charge of our lives.

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
The situation is challenging and complex.

They're called Ghostbusters and they're in control
The Ghostbusters are capable of managing any situation effectively.

Had 'em throwin' a party for a bunch of children
They celebrated with a group of kids.

While all the while, the slime was under the building
Unbeknownst to them, the slime was hidden below the floor.

So they packed up the crew, got a grip came quick
They immediately banded together and prepared for action.

Grabbed the proton packs on their backs, and they split
They quickly retrieved their equipment and left the area.

To battle out Vigo, the master of evil
They were confronting Vigo, the fearsome villain.

Try to battle my boys? That's not legal
Attempting to fight against the Ghostbusters is not permitted.

(Oh we oh) They're in control
The Ghostbusters have the situation under control.

(Oh we oh) why why ya know it
An expression of affirmation.

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (on our own)
We must do it alone, using our own resources and skills.

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold, they're called Ghostbusters and they're in control
The Ghostbusters are successful, even in challenging circumstances.

Gotta, gotta, take it home, gotta, gotta take it home (on our own)
We must bring it to a successful conclusion using our own abilities.

(Oh we oh) OW!
An interjection typical of music, expressing enthusiasm or surprise.

(Oh we oh) Uh!
Another exclamation of excitement or enthusiasm.
