Groovin'
The Rascals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of
Groovin', down a crowded avenue
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just
Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
The song "Groovin'" by The Rascals is a classic love song that celebrates the joy of being with someone special on a beautiful day. The lyrics describe a couple spending their Sunday afternoon together, enjoying each other's company while exploring the city and experiencing all the pleasures it has to offer. The singer is deeply in love, and cannot imagine a better life than spending his days with his beloved. With joyful, upbeat music and smooth harmonies, the song captures perfectly the feeling of being young and carefree, with nothing to worry about but the present moment.
The song opens with the singer expressing his eagerness to spend time with his partner, saying that he "couldn't get away too soon" from wherever they were before. He goes on to express his love for her, saying that he can't imagine anything better than being together. As they walk down the avenue, they are free to do anything and be anyone they want to be. The world is theirs for the taking, and there is nothing standing in their way. They are surrounded by happiness wherever they go, and the singer is excited to meet all the wonderful people they will encounter along the way.
As the song continues, the singer emphasizes the importance of spending sunny days with his lover this way. They will talk and laugh endlessly, feeling closer and closer with each passing day. Life is perfect, and there is nothing that can bring them down. The song ends with a repetition of the opening verse, as if to reinforce the idea that the singer cannot wait to spend more time with his partner, and that their love is the most important thing in the world to him.

Why doesn't this type of music come back? The music today sounds nothing like this. I'm only 19, but I guess I'll be forever Groovin' in the past.
@Darth_Uchiha47
Me too. I’m 25 and I can’t get enough of the 60s.
@Peterelias1854

@jskypercussion
The music of the 50's and 60's was magical and heartfelt. We will never see it again because society has been social engineered. I am 32, I thought my generation was doomed. Damn you teenagers and you early 20 year Olds are in for complete devastation. I would love to be able to show you some things. If you already haven't. Watch the first 2 seasons of haply days, American Graffiti and More American Graffiti, The Wanderers, Lord's Of Flatbush, and the Outsiders. Listen to the 50's and 60's music. Listen to the Jazz Fusion and Prog Rock of the 70's. The last of real pop radio music was the new wave of the 80's. Listen to rare bands like The Church, the
Wild Swans, they have a 60's flare.
