Beat Goes On, Live In Concert

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

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
You did me wrong 'cause I've been through stormy weather.

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

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
To keep the tables turning
Hey this super song
There'll never be an ending

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

Get down playing that fee, sure the beat is real
The beat goes on

And the beat goes on

Rock

I looked at you, you stole my heart
You were all that I anticipated
I wanted you, every part
But I knew love would be complicated

I begin to touch, but you wouldn't let it
It never seemed to be the right time
I started to give up down to the limit
And then you changed your mind, whoa

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' till the break of dawn

Rock (Ooh) steady
Steady rockin' all night long
Rock steady
Rockin' till the break of dawn

You looked at me, to my surprise
You were too anticipatin'
I should have known, it was in your eyes
That you were gettin' tired of waitin'

You wanted me so much, but I didn't get it
How could a fellow be so blind
I started to give up, but love wouldn't let it
Then you walked into my life

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' till the break of dawn

Rock (Ooh) steady
Steady rockin' all night long
(All night long)
Rock steady
Rockin' till the break of dawn
(Rockin' till the break of dawn)

Ooh dooba dooba da

Rock
(Steady, baby, rock steady, baby)
Ooh, rock
(Steady, baby, rock steady, baby)

Rock
Ooh, rock

You wanted me so much, but I didn't get it
How could a fellow be so blind
I started to give up, but love wouldn't let it
Then you walked into my life

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' 'till the break of dawn
(Rockin' 'till the break of dawn)

Rock (Ooh) steady
Steady rockin' all night long
(All night long)
Rock steady
Rockin' 'till the break of dawn
(Everybody)

Rock (Steady rock) steady
(St-st-st-steady rock)
Steady rockin' all night long
(Everybody steady rockin')
Rock steady
Rockin' 'till the break of dawn
(Rockin' 'till the break of dawn)

(Everybody steady rockin')

People speak your name
And think what a shame you're gone
Still they know
What you've left behind
Lives in our hearts and minds
Today and tomorrow

The clouds of darkness came your way
You've given us a brighter day
And your music will be
So very, very special to me

Sometimes wealth and fame
Whispered, "Play my game"
But you, yes, you refused to
Genius touched your soul
Fortune not your gold
God's gift is what changed you

A voice like silk would weave your spell
And words of life, oh, only you tell
And your music is gonna be
Very, very special to me

In life's fleeting glance
You have met the chance to give
All they can't
And though short you stayed
Before you went away with them
Now you stand

Listening to your sounds of joy
I think one shot, ghetto boy
And your music will always be
So very, very special to me

Said I love you, Donny
And you're gonna always be
Very, very, very special to me
Gonna miss one shot, little ghetto boy
This is a song for you

Said I love you, Donny, and I miss you, Donny
You're gonna always be a friend to me
Miss you, Donny
Yeah, I miss you, Donny
