This here's a jam for all the fellas Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us Get shot down 'cause you're overzealous Play hard to get, females get jealous Ok, smarty, go to a party Girls are scantily clad and showin' body A chick walks by you wish you could sex her But you're standin' on the wall Like you was Poindexter Next day's function, high class luncheon Food is served and you're stone cold munchin' Music comes on, people start to dance But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin' Sits down next to you and starts talkin' Says she wanna dance 'cause she likes the groove So come on, fatso, and just bust a move You're on a mission and you're wishin' Someone could cure your lonely condition Lookin' for love in all the wrong places No fine girls, just ugly faces From frustration, first inclination Is to become a monk and leave the situation But every dark tunnel has a lighter hope So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope New movie's showin', so you're goin' Could care less about the five you're blowin' Theatre gets dark just to start the show Then you spot a fine woman sittin' in your row She's dressed in yellow, she says: Hello Come sit next to me, you fine fellow! You run over there without a second to lose And what comes next? Hey, bust a move! If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it (just bust a move!) If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it In the city, ladies look pretty Guys tell jokes, so they can seem witty Tell a funny joke just to get some play Then you try to make a move and she says: No way Girls are fakin', goodness sakin' They want a man who brings home the bacon Got no money and you got no car Then you got no woman and there you are Some girls are sophistic, materialistic Looking for a man makes them opportunistic They're lyin' on the beach perpetratin' a tan So that a brother with money can be their man So on the beach you're strollin', real high-rollin' Everything you have is yours and not stolen A girl runs up with somethin' to prove So don't just stand there, bust a move! If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it (just bust a move) If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it (Break it down for me fellas) Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry In five days from now he's gonna marry He's hopin' you can make it there if you can 'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man You say neato, check your libido And roll to the church in your new tuxedo The bride walks down just to start the wedding And there's one more girl you won't be getting So you start thinkin', then you start blinkin' A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin' She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back And now you're feelin really fine 'Cause the girl is stacked Reception's jumpin', bass is pumpin' Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin' Says she wants to dance to a different groove Now you know what to do, G, bust a move!
