Happy People
R. Kelly Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
Attention, everyone

This here is another one for the steppers
This song is specifically for those who love to dance

DJ Wayne Williams put the record on
DJ Wayne Williams is playing the music for us

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm

Whoa yeah
More excitement and agreement

Tell me what do we do
Let's discuss what we should do

When the DJ's playing our favorite groove
When the DJ is playing our favorite song

We step
We start dancing

To when
To the rhythm

The whole night through
All night long

And what do we do
And how about when

When we're all dressed up and in the mood
When we are looking good and ready to have fun

We step
We start dancing

To what
To a particular type of dance

A steppers groove
A dance style called steppin'

Where do we go soon as the weekend gets here
Where do we go as soon as the weekend arrives

The club
We go to the nightclub

Why
Because

To party and have some fun
To have a good time and enjoy ourselves

What is it that,
What is the thing that

Can come and take away all your stress, tell me
Can help you relax and forget your worries, let me know

Music
It's music

No further questions, you have passed my test
No need for more explanations, you understand now

Happy people (yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
Content and joyful individuals

Keep the world turning, turning
Keep the world in motion

Oh I believe that, happy people (yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
I genuinely believe that happy people contribute positively

Keep us all dancing, dancing, dancing
Encouraging everyone to keep dancing

Keep us all stepping, keep us stepping, stepping
Keep us all enjoying the dance steps

Keeps the music grooving, grooving
Maintains the enjoyable rhythm of the music

Tell me, now what do you do
Now, let me ask you

When a feeling has come over you
When you are overcome with a strong emotion

You let go,
You release yourself

And what
And you

Let it take control, let it
Allow it to guide you

What do you say
How do you respond

When a gentleman asks you to dance, you
When a man invites you to dance, you

Say yes
Accept his invitation

And then
And after that

Get on the dance floor
Join him on the dance floor

Even when it seems, we're goin' through some hard times
Even when it seems like we are facing difficulties

What do we do
What should we do

Keep smiling 'cause we know
We keep smiling because we are confident

We're gonna make it through
We will overcome it

Now what is it that,
Now what is the thing that

Can come and take away all your stress, tell me
Can help you relax and forget your worries, let me know

Music
It's music

No further questions, you have passed my test
No need for more explanations, you understand now

Uh uh uh, alright, uh huh
Expressing agreement and enthusiasm

Now if you want to step
Now, if you want to dance

You gotta play it by the rules
You must follow the guidelines

You gotta do what I do
You have to imitate what I do

When I do, what I do
When I dance, the way I dance

Now
Right now

Step to the left, step to the right
Move your feet to the left, move your feet to the right

Spin around and bring it down tonight
Rotate your body and bring it down tonight

Bring it on up, move in close
Bring your dancing up, get closer

Let me see you and your partner stroll
I want to see you and your dance partner perform a dance called the stroll

Break it down y'all, break it down
Let's break down the dance moves together

All the way to the ground
Keep going until you reach the floor

Now bring it up, bring it up
Now raise it back up

Until you're all standing up
Until everyone is standing again
