Tom Tom Club - Genius Of Love (1981)

What you gonna do when you get out of jail?
I'm gonna have some fun
And what do you consider fun?
Fun, natural fun

I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning and there is no end
Time isn't present in that dimension

He'll take my arm
When we're walking, rolling and rocking
It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man
Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping

Check it out, y'all

I'm in heaven
With the maven of funk mutation
Clinton's musicians such as Bootsy Collins
Raise expectations to a new intention

No one can sing
Quite like Smokey, Smokey Robinson
Wailin' and skankin' to Bob Marley
Reggae's expanding with Sly and Robbie

I said, oops, your mama said, uh
Oops, your mama said, uh
Oops, your mama said, uh
Oops, your mama
That's what I said

All the weekend
Boyfriend was missing, I surely miss him
The way he'd hold me in his warm arms
We went insane when we took cocaine

Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon
Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon

Stepping in-a rhythm to a Kurtis Blow
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
With a hppie-the-hip and a hippie-the hop
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon

James Brown, James Brown
James Brown, James Brown
Hit me

If you see him
Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend
Well, he's the genius of love
He's got a greater depth of feeling
Well, he's the genius of love
He's so deep

Aha, yeah
I remember those hot summer nights down at C.B.G.B's
Oh, yeah
Mystic bohem, mystic bohem
Rock the night
