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 to far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word

They think our love is just a growing 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 feel
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
Conventionalitly belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now but we can be who we are

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 the life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble (trouble), laced 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
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
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
Is the word




Is the word

Overall Meaning

The song Grease, performed by Jessie J and the cast of Grease Live, begins by suggesting that the solution to all of the singer's problems is simple - to see the light. The song then suggests that love is the answer to these problems, but that it must be nurtured in the right way. The lyric "we gotta feed it right" implies that if love is not treated properly, it cannot flourish. Despite this, the next line asserts that there is no danger in pursuing this love, and that the singers should believe in themselves to truly become who they are.


The chorus of the song is where we see the title repeated, with the line "Grease is the word" being heard throughout. The rest of the chorus aims to capture the spirit of the characters in the musical, with lyrics such as "It's got groove it's got meaning" and "Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion." Essentially, this is a song about being true to oneself and taking chances, even if people don't understand what you're doing. The final line repeats the title of the song several times, reinforcing its importance.
