Breakdance Lyrics

Irene Cara

Well
what's this new feeling coming out of the streets
Everybody's talking 'bout it wherever they meet.
Down by the corner I keep getting the heat
Then my feet start moving to the rhythmic beat.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
They used to do the locomotion
do the jerk and the twist
But there just ain't never been nothing like this.
Now popping and locking is a new way of talking
Things will work out for sure spinning 'round on the floor.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
Hearts are pumping
beat if thumping
love's the way you're looking tonight
Fever's rising
no surprises
we won't have the time to fight.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out.
Breakdancing
break out - breakdancing
break out. . . .
