Lyrics

I want to take you where (I want to take you where)
We can party (we can party)
From dusk 'til dawn (1998!)

Jam Jam Jam D.D.R.
Yo, Everybody feel the beat with D.D.R.
Jam Jam Jam D.D.R.
Everybody dance let's get down
(D2R!)

Can't Stop fallin' love
Tell me you will be true (forever baby)
I just can't stop dreaming of you
Everyday, (every way)

You've broken my heart, broken my heart
This can't be right, no no not right
I'm telling you I know it's true
That I'd die for you, die for you
Baby, broke my heart

Baby, Let's love, love, love again and again tonight
Everything is so right
Then the two of us can remember sweet sweet love
(Evolution)
