It's been a long while since we shared
Some special time alone, oh, honey
I think we should get away
Take a romantic holiday, oh, honey

Maybe we could take a walk
Stroll through a path on the beach, oh, honey
Spendin' time just holdin' hands
Kisses just make it so complete, oh, honey

This time is meant to be for lovers
This time we're thinkin' of no other

Just you and me
(Workin' on a groove)
Workin' on a groove called love
Just you and me
(Workin' on a groove)
We're workin' on a groove called love

In these crazy times we live
It's good to know you're there for me, oh, honey
And I just wanna let you know
That you can always count on me, oh, honey

This time we're thankful for each other
This time we're thinkin' of no other

Just you and me
(Workin' on a groove)
Workin' on a groove called love
It's just you and me
(Workin' on a groove)
We're workin' on a groove called love, baby

It's just you and me
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la)
(Workin' on a groove)
Workin' on a groove called love
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Just you and me
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la)
(Workin' on a groove)
Oh, we're workin' on a groove called love
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)

This time is meant to be for lovers
This time we're thinkin' of no other

Just you and me
(Workin' on a groove)
Workin' on a groove called love
It's just you and me
(Workin' on a groove)
Workin' on a groove called love

Just you and me
(Work, work, workin' on a groove)
Oh, we're workin' on a groove called love
Just you and me
(Work, work, workin' on a groove)
Workin' on a groove called love, baby

Just you and me
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la)
(Workin' on a groove)
We're workin' on a groove called love
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
We're workin'
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la)
(Workin' on a groove)
You and me
Workin' on a groove called love
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Let's make some love

Just you and me
(Work, work, workin' on a groove)
Oh, we're workin' on a groove called love, baby
It's just you and me
(Work, work, workin' on a groove)
Workin' on a groove called love

Just you and me
(Work, work, workin' on a groove)
Oh, we're workin' on a groove called love, baby
(It's time for us to make some love)
It's just you and me
(Work, work, workin' on a groove)
We're workin' on a groove called love
(It's time for us to make some love)

Jody Watley is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer that first danced her way to fame at 14-years-old as a dancer on Soul Train. That experience led show host Don Cornelius and booking agent Dick Griffey to place her and fellow dancer Jeffrey Daniel in the group Shalamar in 1977, with lead singer Howard Hewett added to the group in 1979. They produced the hits “Second Time Around,” “Make That Move,” “This is for the Lover in You,” and “A Night to Remember” before Watley left the group in 1983 due to conflict within the group and a lack of payment from Dick Griffey’s SOLAR Records label.

She released her self-titled debut album in 1987 featuring the #1 Dance hits “Don’t You Want Me,” “Some Kind of Lover,” and “Looking for a New Love,” which also peaked at #1 on the R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Pop chart. This album went Platinum and led to her winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1988. Her follow-up album Larger Than Life was released in 1989 and featured the Top 10 Pop hits “Everything,” “Friends” with Rakim, and the #1 Dance and R&B hit “Real Love.” She worked on these albums with Prince bassist André Cymone, who she would later marry in 1991 before separating in 1995.

She released nine studio albums between 1987 and 2006, and in 2008, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Billboard Music Awards. Her last project was the 2014 EP Paradise on her own Avitone label and she made an appearance on DâM-FunK’s Invite the Light album in 2015 on the track “Virtuous Progression.” She also formed “Shalamar Reloaded” with two new members and continues to tour.
