Rip It Up Lyrics

Rip It Up Song Lyrics


When I first saw you
Something stirred within me
You were standing sultry in the rain
If I could've held you
I would've held you
Rip it up and start again
Rip it up and start again
Rip it up and start again
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God
And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God
And when I next saw you
My heart reached out for you
But my arms stuck like glue to my sides
If I could've held you
I would've held you
But I'd choke rather than swallow my pride
Rip it up and start again
Rip it up and start again
Rip it up and start again
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God
And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God
And there was times I'd take my pen
And feel obliged to start again
I do profess
That there are things in life
That one can't quite express
You know me I'm acting dumb-dumb
You know this scene is very humdrum
And my favourite song's entitled 'boredom'
Rip it up and start again
I said rip it up and start again
I said rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and start again

The year of 1983 was not only a year of big openings and discovering in the world and science but also was a good year for the music industry. Maybe these fellows would never be that popular nowadays with their awkwardness in front of the camera in this clip, but who knows. This is disco pop or similar direction. They sing about a girl, whom they saw on the street under the rain. She was hot and they wanted to know her better but, as many adolescents, were numb and dumb in that moment. A singer tells that he wants to embrace her, but he just has no guts to do it. He is shy and humdrum.
