JUMP TO THE BEAT
(Narada Michael Walden / Lisa Walden)

as recorded by Stacy Lattisaw
1980


Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!
Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!

Your life'a passin' star,
The price you paid was dear.
You make the most of my life,
Yet movements dance with fear.
Your speciality's only nights,
As you and pride compete,
Neglect the pain in your heart;
Come on and dance with me!

Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!
Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!

Yes, come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me, won't you dance with me?
Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!

You never dance alone
When love steps too near.
Communicate with me,
Your doubts will disappear!
If it's love you're searching for,
There's plenty love in me!
Embrace the good things in life,
Come on and dance with me!

Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!
Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me, ya-ha-ha!

Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me, yeah!
Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!
Won't you dance with me excite?  Yeah!

Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me!
Come on and jump to the beat, (jump)
Come on and dance with me...
