Grease
Grease Cast/Grease Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I solve my problems and I see the light.
We got a lovin' thing.
We gotta feed it right.
There ain't no danger we can go too far.
We start believin' now that we can be who we are.

Grease is the word.
They think our love is just a growin' pain.
Why don't they understand
it's just a crying shame?
Their lips are lying.
Only real is real.
We stop the fight right now.
We got to be what we feel.

Grease is the word.
(grease is the word, is the word,that you heard)

It's got groove.
It's got meaning.
Grease is the time,
is the place,
is the motion.
Grease is the way we are feeling.

We take the pressure and we throw away.
Conventionality belongs to yesterday.
There is a chance that we can make it so far.
We start believing now
that we can be who we are.

Grease is the word.
(grease is the word, is the word,that you heard)

It's got groove.
It's got meaning.
Grease is the time,
is the place,
is the motion.
Grease is the way we are feeling.

This is a life of illusion,
Wrapped up in troubles,
mixed with confusion.
What are we doing here?

We take the pressure and we throw away.
Conventionality belongs to yesterday.
There is a chance that we can make it so far.
We start believing now
that we can be who we are.

Grease is the word.
(grease is the word, is the word,that you heard)

It's got groove.
It's got meaning
Grease is the time,
is the place,
is the motion.
Grease is the way we are feeling.

Grease is the word
(grease is the word, is the word, that you heard)

It's got groove
It's got meaning (It's got meaning)
Grease is the time,
is the place,
is the motion.
Grease is the way we are feeling




Grease is the word
(Grease is the word, is the word, is the word...)
