Sweat (A La La La La Long) - Inner Circle, 1993

I've been watching you!

A La La La La Long
A La La La La Long Long
Li Long Long Long.
Come On!
A La La La La Long
A La La La La Long Long
Li Long Long Long.

Standing across the room I saw you smile.
Said I want to talk to you for a little while.
But before I make
my move my emotions start running wild.
My tongue gets tied and that's no lie.

Looking in your eyes
I'm looking in your big brown eyes.
Ooh yeah
and I've got this to say to you:

Girl I want to make you sweat
sweat 'til you can't sweat no more.
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it some more.
Girl I want to make you sweat
sweat 'til you can't sweat no more.
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it
push it push it some more.

A La La La La Long
A La La La La Long Long
Li Long Long Long.
Come on!
A La La La La Long
A La La La La Long Long
Li Long Long Long.

So I say to myself if
she loves me or not

But the drag I know
that love is his to get:
With a little bit of
this and a little bit of that

the loser goes on the attack.
My tongue gets tied and
that's no lie:

Looking in your eyes...

I'm looking in your
big brown eyes...oh, girl - and I've got this to say to you:

A La La La La Long...

Eyes...I'm looking in your
big brown eyes...oh, ya - and I've got this to say to you:

A La La La La Long
A La La La La Long Long
Li Long Long Long.
Push it!
A La La La La Long
A La La La La Long Long
Li Long Long Long.

Push it some more

A La La La La Long
A La La La La Long Long
Li Long Long Long.

Push it some more

Inner Circle is a reggae band formed in Jamaica in 1968. Their biggest claim to fame was their 1989 hit "Bad Boys" since it was picked up by Fox TV's COPS for the theme song. I don't think there's many people who can't sing the first few lines: "Bad boys, bad boys - whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"

Off the same album, the dance hit, Sweat (A La La La La Long) was released. Although popular all over the world, it had more impact in Europe, especially Germany, where it stayed atop the charts as #1 for three months.

It's a catchy little song, but I wonder about the lyrics.
