It's Alright
Jodeci Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see ya movin' baby yeah
And you're lookin' good, said you're lookin' fine
Everything's gonna be alright, yeah
Let the music take control of your body tonight
Whoa, everything's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Let the music take control of your body tonight
Father break it down
Well I begin the weekend with a groove
Roll about eight deep now what's my next move
Waitin' to nightfall so I can enjoy
System pumped by four Jeeps, runnin' like a convoy
Roll to the park, kinda crowded, what a scene
Pullin' up with Jodeci blastin' out the fifteen
So I park my ride, girls see my ???
Notice my grill that cause the pointin' and starin'

[Chorus]
Everything's gonna be alright
Let the music take control of your body tonight
Ooh, everything's gonna be alright
Let the music take control of your body tonight

Now I sign a couple autographs, take a few flicks
Order Don Perionne and lay back with my chicks
Michael's on the left of me, Smooth is flippin'
Took ??? away, I'm on the dance floor rippin'
?? is for the cutie, the ??? I'm tryna' find 'em
Tim is in the front and Mobat is right behind him
And me, I'm just layin' on the prowl
Got say what's up as the girls cry out
She grabbed her man, I think she tried to play him
My only thought, was to step to the A-M
Cause I came to have a good time
And at the end of the night, no doubt, I'm gonna get mine
Cause I don't have to raise my voice to be seen
I maintain, if you know what I mean
Understand I'm not conceded, Father's just mellow
I'm a smooth, dark Romeo, freak kinda fellow

[Chorus]

Do that dance, do that dance, baby
Do that dance, let's work it out
(Both) Do that dance, do that dance, baby
(Both) Do that dance, let's work it out
Do that dance, do that dance, baby
Do that dance, let's work it out
(Both) I said do that dance, do that dance, baby
(Both) Do that dance, let's work it out

Loungin' on the DL, this type of night is rare
I glanced to the right, oh who do we have here
Puffin Sweet, gettin' ripped, what the hell
I see Mr. Uptown, it's Andre Farwell
Conversatin' with his boys
I say stop and barge straight through the crowd,
It's time to get charged
It's kinda mellow so I leap,
To the center where the soul's rollin' five deep
Mark Currey, a ??, kin and nephew
Doin' the wild thing 'cause the soul is true
And every time I see bodies gettin' biz'
Girls are gettin' wild 'cause Father's known for his
And every time ya hear the music thumpity-thump
And all the girls gettin' bumped right in ya rump
So everybody who feel the mood is right
Get on the dance floor tonight

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Everybody dance with me, oh yeah
Everybody move with me, everybody
Everybody dance with me
Everybody move with me




Everything's gonna be alright
Let the music take control of your body tonight
