Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no place that you can hide
No no, the rhythm is gonna get'cha
In bed, throw the covers on your head
You pretend like you are dead
But I know it, the rhythm is gonna gey'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight
No way, you can fight it every day
But no matter what you say
You know it the rhythm is gonna get'cha
No clue, of what's happening to you
And before this night is through
Ooh baby the rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
(Na na na na na na na na)
The rhythm is gonna get you

My dad was the audio engineer for this album I'm shure I remember sitting in the studio while he mixed these tracks I was prob 4 to 5 years old . He just lost his battle to cancer . Doug Grover was a good father and musician including one of the best at what he did when It came to audio engineering
