Shut Up And Dance

Paula Abdul Shut Up And Dance Lyrics
1.Cold Hearted


2.Straight Up

Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
Then baby I'm movin' way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some informationplease

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straught up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun
Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
I keep geting chills
When I think your love is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some informationplease

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straught up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say bye bye bye bye bye bye
bye bye bye

Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or I am a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some informationplease

Chorus cont.

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught

Or I am a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some informationplease

Chorus cont.

How about some informationplease


3.One Or The Other

Written:C.Williams/D.Pain/P.Abdul
Arranger:Curtis Williams

If you think you're gonna have the time
To make up your mind
You shouldn't even try
I'm tired of hearing all of your lines
Just tell me that you're mine

You know I'm better than she'll ever be
It's very clear to me
No more
I'll let you mess with me
But baby can't you see

You can only have (one or the other)
Is it gonna be her or
Is it gonna be me
You can only have (one or the other)
If it's gonna be her
You gotta set me free

Let me tell you that it hurts so bad
When you're the last to know
My friends told me so
My heart was always just for you
But now you want her too

You see her you try her
You're always on fire
But boy I've got news for you
You've taken advantage
But baby you can't have
Your cake and eat it too

One or the other
You can't get it right
You say I'm your lover
But someone else is waiting
One or the other
I'm not gonna fight
This won't last forever
So stop your hesitating

One or the other
You can't get it right
You're so undercover you always think I'm playing
One or the other
You want me tonight
I'm not gonna play
It boy
I'm not with it

One or the other
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have
Your cake and eat it too


4.Forever Your Girl

Lyrics:Oliver Leiber
Music:Oliver Leiber
Arranger:Oliver Leiber

Hey baby
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl
Baby forever...and ever and ever
(You know I am)

Baby pick your head up
Come on and look me in the face
Cuz I can tell that somethin'
Is bringin' you down
(Why are you down?)

Is it the rumor
That another boy
Wants to take your place
(I hear he's after your heart)
Have you been hearin' the stories
They're goin' around
(All of my friends are talkin')

Baby just remember I gave you my heart
Ain't no one gonna tear us apart
He could promise the moon
And the stars above
Even if he promised me the world

Just remember I'm forever your girl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

Honey listen to me
Your love is all I need
You should know that I don't need nothin'
That money can buy
(It's no lie)
So if a boy were to come along
And try to make me leave you
(Girl I'd go out of my mind)
There'd be no need to worry
I'm tellin' you why
(I need to hear that you really love me)

Baby don't you know that I love you
And I'd never put nobody above you
He could promise the moon and the stars above
Even if he promised me the world

Just remember I'm forever your girl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

I'm forever your baby
Just remember I'm forever your girl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

When the mountains crumble into the sea
That's the day someone'll come
Between you and me

Baby just remember I gave you my heart
(Tell me) ain't no one gonna tear us apart
Baby he could promise me diamonds
Even if he promised me pearls
Honey you know I ain't lyin'
Listen as I tell it to the world

You gotta remember baby remember
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

Baby forever and ever and ever
We'll be together
I'm forever your girl
Baby forever and ever and ever
You gotta remember
I'm forever...
Hey baby he could promise the world

Girl you know I love you
And I always will
If we live 'til forever
I'll be lovin' you
I'll be lovin' you still

I'm forever your girl


5.Knocked Out

Written:L.A.Reid/Babyface/D.Simmons

I was in love the moment that I saw you
I followed you thru the crowd and I almost lost you
I was dying to tell you but scared of your reaction
But I can't hold back because I'm rushed with thing called
passion

You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out
Baby there's no doubt
You swept me off of my feet

I walked your way hoping that
Maybe you noticed
I don't want to move so fast
I don't want to blow it
Never did I think love could be so amazing
But the things that you're making me do
It's driving me crazy
I want us to be closer, boy I wanna be
Startin' somethin with you baby
My heart is steady knockin boy you've got my body rockin',
caught blow-by-blow, love T.K.O.


6.It's Just The Way That You Love Me

Lyrics:Oliver Leiber
Music:Oliver Leiber

It ain't the clothes that you wear
It ain't the things that you buy
It ain't your house on the hill
It ain't the plane that you fly

It ain't your black limousine
It ain't your ninety-foot yacht
It ain't the things that you'll get
It ain't the things that you got

It ain't the money or the diamond rings
Honey I ain't impressed with your material things

It's the way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me
It's the way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me

It ain't your friends at the top
It ain't their fortune and fame
It ain't your heavy connections
It ain't the Hollywood game

Ain't famous people or the parties they throw
Honey I ain't impressed with all the people you know

It's just the way that you love me
(In the heat of the night)
It's just the way that you love me
(Baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(When you're lovin' me right)
It's just the way that you love me
(Baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(And the things that you do)
It's just the way that you love me
(Baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(Make me crazy for you)
It's just the way that you love me

It ain't the money or the diamond rings
Honey I ain't impressed with those material things

It ain't the trips to Brazil
It ain't the weekends in Rome
It ain't the French Riviera
You know I'd rather stay home

Ain't the Bahamas
It ain't Monaco
Honey I ain't impressed
With all the places we go

It's just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
The way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
(It ain't the money)
It's just the way that you love me
(Or the diamond rings)
The way that you love me
(Ain't what you buy my baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(Ain't material things)
The way that you love me
(Ain't your Maserati)
It's just the way that you love me
(Your house on the hill)
The way that you love me
(It ain't the parties)
It's just the way that you love me
(Or the trips to Brazil)


7.Opposites Attract

Lyrics:Oliver Leiber
Music:Oliver Leiber
Arranger:Oliver Leiber

Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies
And I like T.V.
I take things serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night
Our friends are sayin'
We ain't gonna last
Cuz I move slowly
And baby I'm fast
I like it quiet
And I love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out

I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract

Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers
She likes it neat
And he makes a mess
I take it easy
Baby I get obsessed
She's got the money
And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And I like to smoke
Things in common
Just ain't a one
But when we get together
We have nothin' but fun

I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract

Repeat Chorus

Baby ain't it somethin'
How we lasted this long
You and me
Provin' everyone wrong
Don't think we'll ever
Get our differences patched
Don't really matter
Cuz we're perfectly matched

Repeat Chorus Twice
