See my baby comin' down the track, betcha my baby's comin' back
Someday she get back to me, whoa, and we gonna raise a family

And we gonna groove, yeah, groove

Groovin' - Ben E. King

See my baby goin' down the tracks
Bet you my baby's comin' back
Soon as she gets back to me
We're gonna raise a family

And we're gonna groove, woah, groove
We're gonna groove, yeah, groove
And we're gonna love, love, until the break of dawn

One of these mornings and it won't be long
You'll look for me and I'll be gone
Goin' back home
Where please means please and come means come

And we're gonna groove, yeah, groove
We're gonna groove, yeah, groove
And we're gonna love, love, love, love, love, until the break of dawn

Sweet as sweet as sweet can be
You don't know what you do to me
You just set my soul on fire
Let me say you're my one desire

And we're gonna groove, yeah, groove
We're gonna groove, oh, groove
And we're gonna love, love, love, love, love, love, until the break of dawn

Yes, I'm groovin', woah, groovin'
We're gonna groove, yeah, groove
And we're gonna love, love, love, love, love, until the break of dawn

Come on, babe
Hey, babe
Hey, babe
Hey, babe
Come on, babe
Come on, babe
