Struggling with Grease? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
I saw my problems and I'll see the light We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right There ain't no danger we can go too far We start believin' now that we can be who we are, grease is the word They think our love is just a growin' pain Why don't they understand? It's just a cryin' shame Their lips are lyin', only real is real We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel, grease is the word (Grease is the word, is the word that you heard) It's got a groove, it's got a meaning Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believin' now that we can be who we are, grease is the word This is a life of illusion, a life of control Mixed with confusion - what're we doin' here? We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believin' now that we can be who we are, grease is the word (Grease is the word, is the word, is the word)
