J. Period Q-Tip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The chills that you spill up my back
Keep me filled with satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another
Your groove, I do deeply dig
No walls, only the bridge, my supper dish
My succotash wish
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another
Groove is in the heart, Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart, Groove is in the heart
Watch out!
The depth of hula groove
Move us to the nth hoop
We're going through to, Horten hears a who
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another
DJ Soul was on a roll
I been told he can't be sold
Not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious
I couldn't ask for another
Someone’s in this torso (yeah)
Hot! Gotta deal you wanna know (wanna know)
Dee-Liteful truly Dee-Liteful (liteful)
Makin’ it doin’ it 'specially at show (show)
Feeling kinda high like a Hendrix haze (haze)
Music makes motion moves like a maze (maze)
All inside of me (side)
Heart especially (yeah)
Help of the rhythm where I wanna be (c’mon)
Flowin’ glowin’ with electric eyes (ha)
You dip to the dive baby you’ll realize (yeah)
Baby you’ll see the funky side of me
Baby you’ll see that rhythm is the key (hmm!)
Get get ready with it (with it)
Can’t can’t quit it (quit it)
Stomp on the street when I hear a funk beat (beat)
Playing Pied Piper
Follow what’s true
Baby just sing about the groove (sing it)
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
