Lyrics
Well, ooh ooh ooh
Get it on, get it on
Get it on, get it on, get it on
Get it on, yeah
Ooh Ooh Ooh
I love music
Any kind of music
I love music
Just as long as it’s groovy
Makes me laugh
Makes me smile for the world
Whenever I’m with you girl
While we dance
Make romance
I’m enchanted by the things that you do
Ooh ooh ooh
I love music
Sweet sweet music
Long as it’s swinging
All the joy that’s it’s bringing
I’m so happy to be
In complete harmony
I love you girl
And I hold you so close in my arms
I’m so glad that you’re mine, all mine
Nothing can be better than a sweet love song
So sweet so sweet so mellow mellow
When you got the girl that you love in your arm
Oh honey I love you I love you yeah
Music is the healing force of the world
It’s understood by every man
Woman boy and girl
And that’s why
That’s why I say
I love music
Any kind of music
I love music
Just as long as it’s groovy, groovy
Music makes the atmosphere so fine
Lights down low
Just me and you baby you know
Specially when you got a cold glass of wine
Mellow mellow wine and song
I love music
Any kind of music
I love music
Just as long as it’s groovy
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love music
Sweet sweet music
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love music

Come on, get it on, get it on
