Shannon – Let The Music Play

Official music video 'Let The Music Play' by 'Shannon' from 1983. One of the first Freestyle / Electro Funk tracks.

Lyrics:

We star­ted dan­cing and love put us into a groove
As soon as we star­ted to move.
The music played while our bod­ies dis­played through the dance,
Then love picked us out for romance.
I thought it was clear the plan was we would share,
This feel­ing just between ourselves.
But when the music changed, the plan was re-arranged
He went to dance with someone else.

We star­ted dan­cing and love put us into a groove
But now he's with some­body new – what does love want me to do?

Love said:

Let the music play he won't get away,
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again, let it play.
Let the music play he won't get away,
This groove he can't ignore, he won't leave you any­more, no, no, no.
He tried pre­tend­ing a dance is just a dance, but I see
He's dan­cing his way back to me.
Guess he's dis­covered we are truly lovers,
Magic from the very start, 'cause love just kept me groovin',
And he felt me mov­in' even though we danced apart.
So we star­ted dan­cing and love put us into the groove
As soon as we star­ted to move, as soon as we star­ted to move.

Let the music play he won't get away,
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again, let it play.
Let the music play he won't get away,
This groove he can't ignore, he won't leave you any­more, no, no, no.

He tried pre­tend­ing a dance is just a dance, but I see
He's dan­cing his way back to me,
He's dan­cing his way back to me.

Love said:

Let the music play he won't get away,
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again, let it play.
Let the music play he won't get away,
This groove he can't ignore, he won't leave you anymore
Let the music play he won't get away,
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again, let it play.
Let the music play he won't get away…
