And the Beat Goes On
The Whisper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong on and on

Do you ever wonder
That to win, somebody's got to lose
I might as well get over the blues
Just like fishing in the ocean
There'll always be someone new
You did me wrong 'cause I've been through stormy weather

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on you'd better believe it
Still moving strong on and on

Don't stop for nobody
This time I'll keep my feet on solid ground
Now I understand myself when I'm down
Like the sweet sound of hip music
There'll always be something new
To keep the tables turning
Hey, this super song
There'll never be an ending

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong on and on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

Get down playing that fee, sure the beat is real

The beat goes on

Do you ever wonder
That to win, somebody's got to lose
I might as well get over the blues
Just like fishing in the ocean
There'll always be someone new
You did me wrong 'cause I've been through stormy weather

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong on and on

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Just like my love, baby
Just like my love, my love, baby, on and on

And the beat goes on

Don't stop the moving
Don't stop the moving

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong on and on

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong on and on

And the beat goes on, just like my love, baby
Just like my love, baby, everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong and I love you
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong

And the beat goes on
Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on
Still moving strong and I love you

And the beat goes on




Just like my love everlasting
And the beat goes on

Welcome back to Fever 105, Vice City's soul paradise with me
Manning the wheels of steel.

Get yourself some tea and me.
And if your listening out
there Chevan you best let old Ladykiller out of the dog house.
Cause he's ready to freak on your squeak box baby.


F-F-F-Fever

YOU GOT THE FEVER

My father played the bass on this recording and some other Whispers tunes. Today would be his birthday but sadly he passed away in 2019. Reading these great comments is so awesome, great to know that pop’s groove still makes people happy. And the beat goes on!
