risky business Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm punching my car
Eight hours for what?
Oh tell me what i've got?
I got this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceilling
Or else i'll tear up this town
Kick of your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way now in your heart
You're burning, yearning for songs
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You could fly if you only cut loose footloose
Kick of your Sunday shoes
Ohee, Marie shake it shake it for me
Oh Milo come on come on lets go
Lose your blues everybody cut footloose
(Ooh cut footloose)
(Ooh cut footloose)
(Ooh cut footloose)
You got to turn it around
And put your feet on the ground
Now take a hold of your soul
I'm turning it loose
Footloose
Kick of your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back
Come on before we crack
Lose your blues everybody cut Footloose
Footloose
Kick of your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody, everybody cut footloose
The song "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins was released in 1984 as part of the movie soundtrack for the film "Footloose." The song is a dance-pop track that appeals to the young demographic with its energetic beats and relatable lyrics. In the first verse, the singer expresses their frustration with the monotony of work and the feeling that life is passing them by. They yearn for something more and feel held back by time. The refrain "Now I gotta cut loose, footloose" and "kick off your Sunday shoes" is a call to action, a metaphor for breaking free from the constraints of society and dancing your way to happiness.
The second verse talks about conforming to societal norms and living a life that is expected of you. The singer urges the listener to break free from these rules and follow their heart. "Somebody to tell you that life ain't passing you by, I'm trying to tell you it will if you don't even try" is a powerful message about taking risks and pursuing your dreams to avoid a life of regret. The refrain again repeats, encouraging the listener to cut loose and dance away their blues.
The bridge section of the song reinforces the theme of the song, with the lyrics "You got to turn it around and put your feet on the ground. Now take a hold of your soul, I'm turning it loose." This is a call to action, urging people to take control of their lives and to live them to the fullest. The energetic beat and catchy chorus make this an iconic song that still resonates with audiences today.
