Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh hey, baby
Oh yeah?
Let me take you to Xanadu
Where's that?
Behind the groove
Well, alright, hoo
[Verse 1]
Behind the groove
There's another side inside of you
Behind the groove
You can make your wildest dreams come true
[Chorus]
So get on up
Behind the groove
And shake your body
Get behind the groove
Well, open up and take the music in
Get behind the groove
You better get on up
Behind the groove
Come to the party
Get behind the groove
Life is waiting for you to begin
[Verse 2]
Behind the groove
You can dance forever and a day
Behind the groove
There is romance just a glance away
Got to move, get behind the groove
Why don't you let your spirit play?
Another me, and another you
If we make it through to Xanadu
[Bridge]
Shake your body, shake your body, shake your body, shake
Ooh, I'll take you to Xanadu
Shake your body, shake your body, shake your body, shake
[Verse 3]
Behind the groove
You can put away your masquerade
Behind the groove
You won't ever have to be afraid
[Chorus]
So get on up
Behind the groove
And shake your body
Get behind the groove
Open up and take the music in
Get behind the groove
You better get on up
Behind the groove
Come to the party
Get behind the groove
Life is waiting for you to begin
[Verse 4]
Behind the groove
Open your eyes and see what's in store
Behind the groove
I must be the one you're searching for
[Bridge]
Got to move, get behind the groove
Why don't you let your spirit play?
Another me and another you if we make it through to Xanadu
Ooh
[Bridge]
You are to go with me
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Ah, la-la-la
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Ah, la-la-la
Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake
Ah, la-la-la, everybody sing, ah, la-la-la
[Bridge]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
[Bridge]
Groove me, groove me, groove me, groove me
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
[Bridge]
Got to move, get behind the groove
Why don't you let your spirit play?
Another me and another you, if we make it through to Xanadu, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
[Verse 5]
You can put away your masquerade (Shake your body, shake your body, shake your body, shake that body)
You won't ever have to be afraid of me (Shake your body, shake your body, shake your body, shake on)
Open up your eyes and see what is in store, ooh (Shake your body, shake your body, shake your body, shake)
I must be the one that you are searching for (Shake your body, shake your body, shake your body, shake)
[Outro]
There is romance just a glance away (Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake, shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake)
You can dance forever and a day (Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake)
Shake, shake, shake (Shake it on up, shake it on down, shake it on up, shake)
I'll sing until you sing, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Ah, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
Groove me
Groove me
Groove me, groove me, groove me, groove me, groove me
