Carolina Rain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Covered up in sweat
I can feel the rhythm
Poundin' in my chest
The atmosphere's electric
Can't you feel the buzz?
Let's get this party started, yeah
Let's crank this number up
(Chorus)
Let's get it on,
Do what we came here to do
Rock this town, shake the ground
Get down and raise the roof
Ain't nothin' wrong
With a little cuttin' loose
Next thing you know
The workday blues are gone
C'mon let's get it on
Music's gettin' louder
Smoke's gettin' thick
I can't hear a word she says
But I can read her lips
She's workin' her way closer
Movin' through the crowd
She whispers in my ear:
"It's me an' you, right here, right now"
(Chorus)
Let's get it on
Do what we came here to do
Rock this town, shake the ground
Get down and raise the roof
Ain't nothin' wrong
With a little cuttin' loose
Next thing you know the lovesick blues are gone
C'mon let's get it on
You gotta get up to get down
you gotta get uo to get down
Yeah, you gotta get up to get down
So get up, GET UP, get down!
(Chorus)
Let's get it on
Do what we came here to do
Rock this town, shake the ground
Get down and raise the roof
Ain't nothin' wrong
With a little cuttin' loose
Next thing you know the workday blues are gone
C'mon let's get it on
Let's get it on....
