Gotta Get the Groove Back
Huh baby, let me tell a story, how the music done changed

I remember the way it was back in 1965
Mustang Sally was sneaking through the alley singing ride Sally Ride
It wasn't just another Saturday night when I turned on the radio
I was getting on down the funky Street
Moving with a whole lotta soul

Something's missing (something's missing) something's wrong (something's wrong)
I hear the music but the feeling's gone
Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then
Gotta get the groove back
I said again and again and again and again

Whoo baby well alright
Sweet soul music was in the air I was dancing in the street dancing in the street
I couldn't wait till thе midnight hour man it had a wicked beat
Swanging with the disco lady sitting on thе dock of the Bay
Sure it was cheaper to keep her then now I loved her yesterday?

Something's missing (something's missing) something's wrong (something's wrong)
I got to feel it but the feeling's gone
Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then
Gotta get the groove back
Gotta again and again and again and again and and and oooh
Ohhh gotta gotta uhh
I used to love to hear the queen of soul asking for a little respect (R-E-S-P-E-C-T)
The Bible said this is a man's world I wonder what she though about that
I remember when the rhythm and Blues made you want to twist and shout twist and shout
If I could turn back the hands of time I'd show you what I'm talking about yeah

Something's missing (something's missing) something's wrong (something's wrong)
I hear the music but the feeling's gone
Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then
Gotta get the groove back
Gotta again and again and again and again again ooohhh

Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then
Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then
Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then
Gotta gotta gotta get the groove back
Gotta again and again and again and again again ooohhh
Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then
Gotta get the groove back
I wanna feel like I did back then (soul power?
Disco lady
It’s cheaper to keeper
Yesterday?
Gotta get the groove back
Again and again and again
