Miami Groove Songtext
von Betty Wright

A friend of mine, he just pulled into town
He was tired of wonderin′
He wanted to settle down
So we went driving along the streets of Miami
Said he got hypnotized by the sun and the sea

We walked along the strip of sandy beach
Every vice just within your reach
Tan and brown girls, every kind of girl
They were so fine, enough to change your mind

Miami groove
She's gonna make her move
Just that Miami groove, hey, hey
It′ll cast a spell on you


I didn't want to be the car's fifth wheel
So I stood in the background just to see if he could deal
A lady smiled at him and said "It′s so hot"
Ooh, I need a cool gent like you to cool me off
And I know a place where we can take our fill of love
Right in the sand under the stars above
Said In my dollar bill, I′ve got a little girl
Who can change your view of the whole wide world

Watch out
That's Miami groove
It′ll cast a spell on you
Make you do things you don't wanna do
Miami groove

They say in Miami, the sun always shines
But it′s snowing now and it's blowing minds
It used to be the place to be
Sun and fun, sand and sea
Minds are swaying, just like the palms
Think a little crack can′t do you no harm
I hate to complain but my tears fall like rain
I want my old Miami back again

Watch out
That's Miami groove, hey, hey
Miami groove, mhm
Miami groove, yeah
Miami groove, Miami groove, Miami groove


I don't like it this-a-way
Robbin′ women of their virtue
Making men do things they never thought they′d do

I'm watching you, when you think I ain′t watching you
Think about what you're putting your poor family through
Miami groove
Will put a spell on you
Miami groove
It′s gonna make a move, hey, hey
Miami groove, Miami groove, Miami groove
Miami groove, your-ami groove

It used to be when they said the sand and sea
They were talking about the one that you swim in, you see
But now they're talking about the cocaine flows so freely

Miami groove, Miami groove
Miami groove, Miami groove
Your-ami groove
Oh, your-ami groove, your groove
Miami groove
