And The Beat Goes On

-

By The Whispers

[Chorus]

And the beat goes on Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on Still moving strong, on and on

[Verse 1]

Do you ever wonder That to win, somebody's got to lose I might as well get over (The blues) Just like fishing in the ocean There'll always be someone new

[Pre-Chorus]

(Who'll love you better) You did me wrong But I've been through stormy weather

[Chorus]

And the beat goes on Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on (You'd better believe it) Still moving strong, on and on

[Verse 2]

Don't stop for nobody This time, I'll keep my feet on solid ground Now I understand myself (When I'm down) Like the sweet sound of hip music There'll always be something new

[Pre-Chorus]

To keep the tables turning Hate this simple song But there'll never be an ending

[Chorus]

And the beat goes on Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on Still moving strong, on and on

[Bridge]

The beat goes on (The beat goes on) The beat goes on The beat goes on (The beat goes on) The beat goes on Guitar playing that fill to show the beat is real The beat goes on

[Verse 1]

(Do you ever wonder) Well That to win, somebody's got to lose I might as well get over (The blues) Just like fishing in the ocean There'll always be someone new

[Pre-Chorus]

(Who'll love you better) Girl, you did me wrong But I've been through stormy weather

[Chorus]

And the beat goes on (Yeah, yeah) Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on Still moving strong, and I love it And the beat goes on (Keep movin', keep movin' right on) Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on (Just like my love, baby) Just like my love, my love, baby (On and on)

[Breakdown]

And the beat goes on Don't stop the groovin' Don't stop the groovin'

[Chorus]

And the beat goes on (Woo) Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on (Got to make it last) Still moving strong, and I love it (Better believe it, baby) And the beat goes on (And the beat goes on and on and on) Just like my love, everlastin­g (Everlastin­g, baby) And the beat goes on Still moving strong, and I love it And the beat goes on (Just like my love, baby) Just like my love, baby (Everlastin­g) And the beat goes on Still moving strong, and I love it

[Bridge]

The beat goes on (The beat goes on) The beat goes on The beat goes on (The beat goes on) The beat goes on The beat goes on (The beat goes on) The beat goes on The beat goes on (The beat goes on) The beat goes on

[Chorus] And the beat goes on Just like my love, everlastin­g

And the beat goes on Still moving strong And the beat goes on Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on Still moving strong, and I love it And the beat goes on Just like my love, everlastin­g And the beat goes on Still moving strong
