You hear the beat, you hit the floor
You see the boy, you want him yours
I see the girl, she drop me down
It is not poison it is not wrong, I swear
If we can't make it, the sun will never rise
If we can't make it, this scene will surely die
If we can't make it, no children never dance
If we can't make it, nobody chance a chance
Forever, forever
Some people say no way
Say that love is just a joke
A Barbara Stanwyck living hell
It's all bad boy - no hope, I swear!
If we can't make it, the sun will never rise
If we can't make it, this scene will surely die
If we can't make it, no children never dance
If we can't make it, nobody chance a chance
Forever, forever
Where are all the men who they would cry?
Where are all the women to take them aside?
Where are all the brethren who will cling together?
Forever, forever
You hear the beat, you hit the floor
Your heart is broke, your feet so sore
You turn away into the night
Come tomorrow it'll be alright, I swear!
If we can't make it, the sun will never rise
If we can't make it, this scene will surely die
If we can't make it, no children never dance
If we can't make it, nobody chance a chance, forever
If we can't make it
If we can't make it
If we can't make it
If we can't make it
Forever
Forever, evermore
Forever
