"Genius of Love" by The Tom Tom Club - November 17th 80's Quest Song/Band of the Day


Lyrics:

-'What you gonna do when you get out of jail?'
"I'm gonna have some fun"
-'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 walkin', 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.

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

Oops-si-mama-simma
Oops-si-mama-simma
Oops-si-mama-simma
Oops-si-mama!

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.

...[foreign language interlude]...

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 hiditihi and a hipitiho
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

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.
