Native Love
Divine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance-ah feel the heat
Rock your body to the native beat
Step by step
Slowly I turn
Step by step
Come on

Well here I am, I got the beat
I'm gonna rock to the rhythm of the body heat
Come on now let's have big fun
Rock to the rhythm let's get undone
I've achieved my teenage dream
'Cause love was on my mind
This native love is restless
And I'm just not satisfied

And I'll never get enough
Of that native love
Step by step
Slowly I turn
Step by step
Come on
My car is my Ferrari and my body's Jack LaLanne
My clothes are by Armani and my hair is by Elaine
Tiffany and Cartier are telling me the time
This native love is restless and I'm just not satisfied
And I'll never get enough
Of that native love
Dance ride feel the heat
Rock your body to the body heat
What it looks like?
What it is?
Say pungra, jungra
Say damn to the thungra

Step by step
Slowly I turn
Step by step
Come on
This native love is restless
And I'm just not satisfied
This native love is restless
And I'm just not satisfied
Hey GQ man, here I stand
For everyone to see
And if I'm not your type, well that's alright
'Cuz that don't matter to me
Got the rhythm and the rhyme
I'm right on time
I'm gonna blow your mind
This native love is restless
And I'm just not satisfied
Step by step
Slowly I turn




Step by step
Come on

@dasossy1

take me back to 1983 when i was 17 dancing on speakers til 4 am the Parade in Houston. When the world was friendlier and the drugs where way better. Nothing was illegal and everything was opened all night. Cant believe I'm 54 now and still dancing to all the 80''s beats like no ones watchin!!! Damn this song was so ahead of its time!.
