Fame movie - Can't Keep It Down lyrics

rate me

<br>

You know what it's like<br>

When you wake up in the mornin' and it's hard, <br>

Standin' up straight at attention <br>

Like the changin' of the guard? <br>

Or how it is in a porno shop <br>

When you put you quarter in the slot, <br>

And you try to look cool <br>

So nobody knows that you're hot? <br>

You go to a club and you're high <br>

On some fine marijuana <br>

And the singer of the band <br>

Copped all of her moves from Madonna .... and you wanna <br>

Or late at night, you're home in bed alone, <br>

And it's cold out, <br>

And put your hand where it's warm <br>

While you open up Miss January's fold-out <br>

<br>

Well, that's how it is, when she's around, <br>

And I can't, no I can't <br>

I can't keep it down! <br>

<br>

I can't keep it down when that girl's around <br>

I can't keep it under my control <br>

I can't k-k-keep it down, no, no I can't! <br>

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna rock and roll! <br>

<br>

I'm thinkin' 'bout the time in my life <br>

When I first learned what cryin' was, <br>

The first time I ever had to come face to face <br>

With what dyin' was, <br>

The relatives gathered all in black <br>

To mourn for my great aunt Juanita, <br>

When who comes through the door to pay her respects <br>

But our cousin Conchita, <br>

The tears in her eyes only made them look <br>

Even more Spanish, <br>

As I watched her I swear I could feel the floor <br>

Under me vanish, <br>

She goes to them all, then she fin'ly <br>

Comes over to me, <br>

And she kisses my cheek and I lower my eyes, <br>

I can hardly believe what I see! <br>

<br>

'Cause I'm lookin' down the front of her gown, <br>

And I can't, no, I can't <br>

I can't keep it down! <br>

<br>

I can't keep it down when that girl's around <br>

I can't keep it under my control <br>

I can't k-k-keep it down, no, no I can't! <br>

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna rock and roll! <br>

Rock and roll!<br>
