I was like peace in a groove 
On a Sunday afternoon 
You were there so was I 
In the park 4th of July 
I was chillin' with my cool Aid 
When Miss Chilli came to relay 
That you had a thing for me
Finest thing you'd ever seen 
I must admit to you 
I've heard them lines a time or two 
Although for some apparent reason 
Monkey lines are now in season 
Lights off  lights on 
I guess the groove is on so I am 

[Chorus]
Diggin' the scene 
Diggin' on you 
Diggin' on me 
Baby bay-ooo-baby baby 
It's on like that 
It's on like that 
I gotta be in love or somethin' like that 

I was like deep in a cool 
What'nt gone be nobody's fool 
Could not care less who was there 
Could've been like anywhere 
I was chillin' with my cool-Aid 
Did not want to par-ti-ci-pate 
In no silly conversations 
Had no time for new relation-ships 
I must admit to you 
When I heard the lines you threw 
Although it usually turns me off 
But this time you have turned me on 
Lights off, Lights on 
I guess the groove is on and I am 

[Chorus]

Oh why do I feel the way I do 
When all I can think about is you 
What was it in a line 
That made me fall for you 
Do you know 
Why I'm diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you 

[Chorus] 

Diggin' on you 
It's on like that 
Diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you 

[Chorus]
