Groove Is in the Heart
The Herbaliser Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(we're going to dance and have some fun)
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 (you know that's right)
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls, only the bridge
My sucker dish, my sucatash wish (sing it, baby)
I couldn't ask for another (un huh, un huh)
No, I couldn't ask for another

[Chorus]
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart

[Lady Miss Kier]
(watch out)
The depth of who to groove
Moves me too, I'm seein' who
We're going through too, hard nasty, who woo
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another
DJ Soles, it's time to roll
I've been told, he can't be sold
He's not vicious or malicious
Just lovely and delicious
I couldn't ask for another

[Q-Tip]
Unh, some looks in this torso
Hot, got a deal, you want to know?
The live of true and delightful
Makin' it, doin' it, 'specially at a show
Feelin' kinda high like a Hendrix haze
Music makes mostly moves like a maze
All inside of me, heart especially
Note of the rhythm, where I want to be
Flowin', glowin' with electric guys
You dip to the dive, baby yo, realize
When will you see the funky side of me?
Baby, you'll see that rhythm is a key
Get, get, wit' it, wit' it
Can't think, quit it, quit it
Stomp on the streets when I hear a funk beat
Playin' pop like follow hoods true
Baby, just sing about the groove
(sing it)

[Chorus]
[Q-Tip]
(one, two, three)
Blow them, blow them horns
(the groove is in your heart)





[Chorus]
