Lyrics
[Chorus]
Groovin'
On a Sunday afternoon (Sunday, Sunday)
Groovin'
Couldn't get away too soon (Too soon)
[Verse 1]
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't place I'd like to be instead of
[Chorus]
Groovin'
Down a crowded avenue (Strollin' down Broadway)
Groovin'
Anything we'd like to do
[Verse 2]
There's always lots of things that we could see
We could be anyone we wanna be
And all those happy people we could meet just
[Chorus]
Groovin' (Groovin', groovin', baby)
On a Sunday afternoon (Groovin', groovin', baby)
Groovin', baby
I couldn't get away too soon (Too soon)
[Instrumental]
(If we can) We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
(Hold my hand) We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
(Ooh-wee, yeah) I feel it coming closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me, we'll just be (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Groovin' (Groovin', groovin', baby)
On a Sunday afternoon (Groovin', groovin', baby)
Ah, groovin' (Groovin', just groovin', just groovin', baby)
I couldn't get away too soon, baby (Groovin', just groovin', just groovin', baby)
[Outro]
'Cause darling, you send me (Groovin', just groovin', just groovin', baby)
Groovin' (Groovin', just groovin', just groovin', baby)
Groovin' (Groovin', just groovin', just groovin', baby)
