[Verse 1:]
You know you love your man
Two hundred miles an hour
Drinking up the fumes
And you're never more alive
When you feel his power
You gotta have it today
Cause a woman gets hot
You're racing for the man in the cloak
Ah, you're living your life on fire
You see, but it's out of bounds company

[Chorus:]
Fast company

[Verse 2:]
I with the lights, heart beats
Dancing to the music
Lord I just burst into fire
No wonder I can't sleep
I got a feeling today
I wanna get all hot
All my dreams explode with a shot
Lord I'd be living
My life on the Caribbean Sea
But it's out of bounds company

[Chorus:]
Fast company

[Verse 3:]
You see you're on the way to come
You say you're on your way to go
Baby the heart's speaking paradise
When you help me
Get your big life
Fast company

[Chorus:]
Fast company

I with the lights, heart beats
Dancing to the music
Lord I just burst into fire
No wonder I can't sleep
I got a feeling today
I wanna get all hot
All my dreams explodes with a shot
Lord I'd be living
My life on the Caribbean Sea
But it's out of bounds company

[Chorus:]
Fast company

You see you're on the way to come
You say you're on your way to go
Baby the heart's speaking paradise with me
Fast company

[Chorus:]
Fast company
Fast company
Fast company
Fast company
Fast company

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
