Body Language

(album: Trombipulation - 1980)

Oh, you can shake it to the east
You can shake it to the west
You can shake it the way that express you the best
But remember, when actions is overheard
One picture is worth a thousand words

Body language
And I heard that

Body language
Talking ain't saying a word
Picture ain't getting it heard
Body language

Body language

Talk to me

Just when you find you'd lend an ear
You find it took your eyes to make it clear
What it is her mouth was trying to say
Oh, when the words got in the way

Talk to me
Just rapping
(Now picture this)

Talk to me
Just rapping
(Talking ain't saying a word)

Talk to me, just rapping

Talking ain't saying a word
Picture ain't getting it heard

Body language
Body language
Body language
Talking ain't saying a word
Body language
Picture ain't getting it heard

Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Just rapping
Talk to me

Talking ain't saying a word (talking ain't saying a word)
Picture ain't getting it heard (picture ain't getting it heard)

Singing and shout, tell me what it's all about
Talking out loud and ain't saying a word
Please don't let me be misoverheard
Body language

Talk to me
Body language

Rap to me
Body language

Speak to me
Body language

Slave to me
In body language

Talking ain't saying a word
Baby won't you speak to me?

Talk to me in body language, girl (talking ain't saying a word)
Talking ain't saying a word

Sing it and shout, tell me what it's all about
Talking out loud and ain't saying a word
Please don't let me be misoverheard

Talking ain't saying a word
Pictures ain't getting it heard

Just when you thought you had made it clear
You find it took your eyes to make 'em hear
What it was your mouth was trying to say
Oh, when the words got in the way
Baby, won't ya speak to me

Talk to me (talk!)
In body language (oh!)

Rap to me (rap on me)
In body language (the way you move your sexy body)
Speak to me (speakin'!)
In body language (oh, ho-ho)
Talking ain't saying a word (and the picture's not getting it heard)

You can shake it to the east, oh-hoho, or
You can shake it to the west (whoo-oh)
The one who funks you the best (whoo-oh, aiii)

Just rapping
Just rapping

Talking ain't saying a word
Picture ain't getting it heard

Talk to me in body language (lay it on me)
Rap to me in body language (why don't ya speak to me)
Speak to me in body language, talking ain't saying a word

Talk to me in body language (speak!)
Rap to me in body language (why don't ya speak to me)
Speak to me in body language
Talking ain't saying a word
