[Chorus]
Don't get stopped in Beverly Hills
You better walk soft in Beverly Hills
Don't get wild in Beverly Hills
You gotta have style in Beverly Hills

[Verse 1]
You look around thinking your number's up
You see the lights flash in your eyes
It's going down louder than thunder
You're shaking hard thinking those lies

There's no escape once they get to you
There's no excuse, they're gonna buy
They're coming down, boy, let me warn you
They know it all, so don't even try

[Chorus]
(Don't get stopped) Don't get stopped
(Hey) In Beverly Hills
(Walk soft) You better walk soft
(Uh) In Beverly Hills
(Don't get wild) Don't get wild
(Hey) In Beverly Hills
(Have style) You gotta have style
In Beverly Hills

[Verse 2]
They do it right, everything's by the book
There ain't no slack when they're around
You better not give them no reason
You better stop, don't make a sound

You see them out cruising your neighborhood
It's always cool when they're around
When something's up, you better dial that number
'Cause they're the best, the best in this town

[Chorus]
(Don't get stopped) Don't get stopped
(Hey) In Beverly Hills
(Oh, walk soft) You better walk soft
(Uh) In Beverly Hills
(Don't get wild) Don't get wild
(Hey) In Beverly Hills
(You gotta have style) You gotta have style
(Oh-ah) In Beverly Hills

(Don't get stopped) Don't get stopped
(Ah) In Beverly Hills
(Walk soft) You better walk soft
(Hey) In Beverly Hills
(Don't get wild) Don't get wild
(Ah) In Beverly Hills
(Have style) You gotta have style
(Ah) In Beverly Hills
(Oh-oh, ah-ha-ah)

[Guitar Solo]

Oh, have style
Oh...
Oh, ooh, ooh...

[Chorus]
(Don't get stopped) Don't get stopped
(Hey) In Beverly Hills
(Oh, walk soft) You better walk soft
(Yeah) In Beverly Hills
(Oh, get wild) Don't get wild
(Oh-ah) In Beverly Hills
(Have style) You gotta have style
(Uh) In Beverly Hills

(Don't get stopped) Don't get stopped
(Heeey) In Beverly Hills
You better walk soft
(Uh) In Beverly Hills
(Don't you get wild) Don't get wild
(Ah-aah) In Beverly Hills
(Uh-aeh) You gotta have style
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) In Beverly Hills

(Don't get stopped) Don't get stopped
(Oh-ah) In Beverly Hills
(Walk soft) You better walk soft
(Heeey) In Beverly Hills
(Ooh-ooh) Don't get wild
(Oh-ah) In Beverly Hills
(Oh-ey) You gotta have style
(Have style) In Beverly Hills

(Don't get stopped) Don't get stopped
(Oh) In Beverly Hills
Don't, and on, and on, and on, and on...

Shalamar

Shalamar is an American R&B and soul music vocal group, active in the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s. Their original lineup consisted of Jeffrey Daniel, Jody Watley, and Gary Mumford. The group went through various lineup changes throughout the years, with Mumford replaced by Gerald Brown, and again by Howard Hewett. The lineup of Daniel, Hewett, and Watley was the most successful, selling two Platinum albums (Three For Love, Friends) and one Gold album (Big Fun).

Despite more lineup changes in the ‘80s, the group still churned out hits such as “Dancing in the Sheets” and “Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills”, which won them a Grammy.

Daniel, Hewett, and Watley eventually reunited several times in the ‘90s and as recently as 2015, playing in the UK where they’ve had the most success.
