Hey 
Everybody loves to feel the beat 
From Malibu to 42nd Street 
I like to groove 
No matter where I am 
From Detroit City down to Alabam 
It has moved me heart and soul 
So I do believe 
It's a whole philosophy to me 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
If I can't feel it, baby 
I can't move 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
If I can hear it, baby 
I can't lose 
A good groove will 
Turn your head around 
Lifts you up 
When you're feeling down 
Get your body moving into gear 
That's why the world's 
Been turning all these years 
It ain't written 
In the statute books 
It can't be learned in school 
It's the law, baby 
It's the golden rule 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
If I can't feel it, baby 
I can't move 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
If I can hear it, baby 
I can't lose 
All right 
It ain't written 
In the statute books 
It can't be learned in school 
It's the law, baby 
It's the golden rule 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
Hey, hey, hey, hey 
I live by the groove 
If I can't feel it, baby 
I can't move 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
If I can hear it, baby 
I can't lose 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
I live by the groove 
If I can't feel it, baby 
I can't move 
Said I live by the groove 
I live by, live by 
Live by, live by the groove 
If I can't hear it 
I can't move 
I live by the groove 
If I can't feel it, baby 
I can't move...
