Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove — a statement that can be taken figuratively, literally and symbolically that teaches the lesson that sometimes simplicity is profundity.

Used symbolically or metaphorically it can apply to people who let Tantric Sex get in the way of good fucking. Never let the “lyrics” get in the way of the “groove”.

Used literally it can refer to a lesson learned by Allee Willis when she co-wrote the song September with Maurice White.

White insisted on using the filler lyric “Ba-dee-ya” in the context of the finished song; and Allee Willis strongly disagreed with this choice and asked:

What the fuck does “Ba-dee-ya” mean?”

To which Maurice White replied:

What The fuck does it matter. Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.”

The song was a smash hit.

Figuratively it can be used to mean “less is more”.

Teenager learning to cook doing waaaaaaaay too much:

I’m gonna make a gourmet hamburger with sausage and beef topped with goat cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, Ketchup, and Vidalia onion.

Friend hungry and ready to eat now:

DUDE! Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove!!!! Just make us a couple of burgers.
Husband:

First we are going to do eye gazing; then we are going to give each other oil massages. After that we are going to place our right hands on each other’s hearts while chanting a pleasure mantra. Next, we are going to…

Wife interrupts:

Never Gonna Give You Up Lyrics
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you (Repeat 2x)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you(Repeat 2x)
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye

A half-assed, CAPS LOCKED attempt at an apology for interrupting an awards acceptance speech. An obvious try for a compliment before going back to the original point to which you are originally apologizing for.

Have I Done Something Wrong lyrics Chris Curtis

Hi.I would message you but I don't wanna sound petty and if I do this I can pretend this isn't me :-) . Anyway I'll get to it. Theres like so so much I've wanted to say and I hate myself for not saying anything but I guess because you mean so much to me I'm so scared of ruining something with us which is so so stupid because I know that I'm only ruining it more by saying nothing. It's just I feel like the more I try, the more of a burden to you i feel. I just want to start over from the begining, and just be more brave and honest and I'm sorry I haven't been like that. But anyway I feel like you're mad at me and if you are I get it but can you just be honest and tell me what it is because I don't know if I've done something and if there is something I've done can you tell me how to fix it because I just wanna do my best to do whatever I can to make this work. You're probably not and I'm being paranoid and petty but yeah :-). Anyway even if you're not mad at all or anything like that i want you to know that i care so fucking much about you and I really hope that I never lose you. Wow this sounds so dramatic it's really not it's just theres like so much I wanna talk to you about but it feels weird for it to come outta no where yk.

I also wanted to say you're really really pretty <3
EHDCKJEC I LIKE YOU SO MUCH

ok I'm done you will probably never read this but thats fine :-)

Lyric

An annoying boy who thinks he is all that. He may be kind sometimes but he will turn on you. Never trust a lyric. He may act nice but will turn on you and most likely back stab you. STAY AWAY FROM LYRIC!! He is a walking red flag, As in him being popular, has dated a million girls, and most likely cheating on you or has cheated on you.
Girl: He cheated on me!!"

Me: "He must be a lyric."

can we fuck lyrics

Chorus

Can we fuck?

Let me see what you got danglin'

What you danglin', what you danglin'?

Can we fuck?

Bend me over, watch me handle it

Watch me handle it, watch me handle it
Verse

Call me up after dark

We can do it in the park

We can do it in the car

On the beach, under the stars

Shut me up, make it hurt

On my knees, I'll make it work

Come and feed me, sweet dessert

In a circ, I'll make it jerk

We can play dirty games

Tie me up, dicks and chains

Call your friends, run a train

Make me cum, again, again

Daddy, squirt, pretty please

Teach me 'bout the birds and bees

Muscle me, my Hercules

Chorus
