Step It Up Lyrics

Step It Up Song Lyrics


To the left to the right
Step it up, step it up it's alright
To the left and to the right
Check the new ride out it's alright

Silence ain't in season
Cos there ain't no good in grief
Can't stop my mouth from breathin'
Or seein' what I see
Curves with destinations
Poetic symmetry
Ya cause an inflammation
In my anatomy ' don't you see

Yeah yeah yeah ' you can't send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah ' but I'll still reach up to the top
Yeah yeah yeah ' until the last day that I drop
Yeah yeah yeah ' this is something you can't stop

From infancy I grown
The message that I'm givin'
You don't have to be alone - no you don't
Cos days may come and go - come and go
You'll see no sight or sound
But when your mind is willing
You'll find that I'll be around
Hear me sayin', hear me sayin'

Yeah yeah yeah ' you can't send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah ' but I'll still reach up to the top
Yeah yeah yeah ' until the last day that I drop
Yeah yeah yeah

To the left to the right
Keep it goin' keep it goin' it's alright
To the left and to the right
Step it up, step it up it's alright

We want flesh
We want flesh
We want flesh
Ah ah ah

All you gotta do is bounce it
To see just what goes where
There ain't no way around it
So I have come well prepared
Don't you know

I'm in you form the outset
Hip to hip and dome to dome
We reach the outer limits
Bring the boogie boogie home
Back home
Yeah yeah yeah ' you can't send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah ' but I'll still reach out to the top
Yeah yeah yeah ' we're goin' right around the clock
Yeah yeah yeah

To the left and to the right
Step it up, step it up it's alright
To the left and to the right
Check the new ride out it's alright

See how we are livin'
See how we are livin'
See how we are livin'
See how we are livin'
See how we are livin'
See how we are livin'
See how we are livin'
See how we are livin'

You'll hear me sayin'

Yeah yeah yeah ' you can't send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah ' but I'll still reach up to the top
Yeah yeah yeah ' until the last day that I drop
Yeah yeah yeah ' this is something you can't stop
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

To the left to the right
Keep it goin' keep it goin' it's alright
To the left and to the right
Step it up, step it up it's alright

It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
