Oh I say! This has a bit of a raunchy title, A.M. Just as well that I couldn't decipher most of what was being sung about - I don't have smelling salts to hand. (It got to #22 here in 1980, but I don't recall it) Still if it's what I think it might be about, better safe than sorry is what I always say.
good morning, king raybeard! I must confess I have no idea (and have never had) any idea regarding the words; but it's got a good beat and you can dance to it, so...
I'm with Ray on this with one. I'm familiar with The Gap Band, but not this particular song. But you're right, Ann Marie, it does have a good beat... DANCE AWAY!!! I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!!!
I prefer latex. ;) If Raybeard wants to know the lyrics try Lyrics.com and a lot of the time the poster of the video will also post the lyrics.
Thanks for the heads up on Cubby and Sassy - happiness wished!
"Burn Rubber On Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)"
Woo, I gave you my money, I gave you my time Why you wanna hurt me, girl Are you serious, I'm just curious Why you wanna hurt me, girl
Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl
Never, ever had a lover Who put the pedal to the mettle And burn rubber on me, Charlie Oh, no
You took my money, you took my time Made me think everything was fine Then you upped and ran away And made me just go crazy
I never, ever had a lover Who put the pedal to the metal And burn rubber on me, Charlie Oh, no, no, no
Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl
I never, ever had a lover Who put the pedal to the metal And burn rubber on me, Charlie Oh, no, no, no
Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl
You told me to go up the block And get you a strawberry pop When I got back to the flat You had burned rubber out the back
I went to the closet and saw no clothes All I saw was hangers and poles I went to the phone and called your mother And told me you had burned rubber on me, Charlie OH, no, no [x13]
Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl
I never, ever had a lover Who put the pedal to the metal And burned rubber on me, Charlie OH, no, no, no, no, oh, no, yeah, yeah
Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt, me girl Just because you're not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl
Just because your not for real Why you wanna hurt me, girl
You took my money, you took my time Made me think everything was fine Like the clock on the wall, said ding-ding-dong Got to find another lover that won't be gone
She won't put the pedal to the metal And burn rubber, burn rubber, on me, Charlie NO, no, no, no
I never, ever had a lover Who put the pedal to the metal And burned rubber on me, Charlie NO, no, no, no, no, no [repeat 8x]
I'd thought of looking up the lyrics, Sean, but decided to spare my blushes. But now I see that there was no real concern to be had. (Thanks so much for your trouble in pasting them here). At least the words are "Burn rubber ON me" and not "IN"! :-)
