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]
