Drop It
Rupert Holmes Lyrics

You and me can beat this rap
We can get out of this situation together

It's a rat race headin' for a mouse trap
This life is full of struggles, and we need to be careful not to fall into a trap

Let's drop it
Let's forget about our problems and move on

Mmm, honey, let's drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it
Let's really make an effort to forget about our problems

Who's got what and what's got who?
Why do we even care about other people's possessions and situations in life?

Ain't got one damn thing to do with me and you
Other people's issues have no impact on us, so we shouldn't spend our energy worrying about them

Drop these games of droppin' names
Let's forget about trying to impress people with our connections

They can't impress me less
Dropping names doesn't make anyone more impressive

Drop a stitch 'cause some rich bitch
Let's forget about following trends set by wealthy people

Tells you how you should dress
We don't need to rely on others to tell us what to wear

Styles and trends are all dead ends
Fashion trends come and go, and aren't worth following

Just smoke rings in the air
Fashion trends are here one minute, and gone the next. They're fleeting and insignificant

And you know it's true that I love to see you
I like you for who you are, not what you wear or who you know

When you ain't got a thing to wear
Your true self is more important than exterior appearance

Mmm, let's get off the assembly line
Let's break away from conformity and do our own thing

I want to make your body a friend of mine
I want to become close to you, both physically and emotionally

Whoa, honey, let's drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it
Let's really try hard to forget about our problems

Who is in and who is out?
Why do we care about who's popular or not? It's a meaningless metric of worth

Is not exactly what I thought we'd talk about
We should focus on more important things in life, rather than arbitrary social rankings

What we've got and what we've not
Material possessions aren't an accurate measure of one's worth

Will change from week to week
What we have today, we may not have tomorrow

We could stash a pile of cash
We could save a lot of money

If cash is all we seek
But money isn't everything

Why not blow a wad of dough
We could spend our money on enjoying life

And see the world at large?
We could travel and experience new cultures

If the world should end, least we'll know, my friend
In the face of apocalypse, we'd regret it more if we had never lived life to the fullest

That we both beat out Master Charge
We're free from financial hardship and can afford to enjoy life

All our cares and all our woes
All the things that weigh us down

And all our so-called friends who treat us more like foes
Fake friends who drag us down rather than lift us up

Let's drop 'em
Let's leave behind those who don't bring positivity to our lives

Spend it as they lend it
We should take advantage of the opportunities we're given

Better us than them, I guess
We deserve to enjoy our lives, regardless of what others may think

What we don't spend now finds its way somehow
If we don't enjoy what we have while we have it, we may never get the chance again

To a guy at the IRS
The government will tax us regardless of what we do, so we might as well enjoy what we have

All my talk's gone on too long
I've been talking too much without taking action

We'll let the guitar player take out this song
We'll let the music do the talking

Mmm, honey, let's drop it
Let's forget about our problems

Mmm, please don't stop it
Let's keep enjoying what we have

Drop it
Forget our problems and enjoy the moment

Whoa, baby, don't stop it
Let's keep enjoying what we have

Mmm, drop it
Forget our problems and enjoy the moment

Mmm, stop it
Let's stop worrying about our problems

Oh, honey, let's drop it
Let's forget about our problems
