[Intro]
Tonight
You’re gonna get your groove on
You know what I’m sayin’?
Get your groove on
That’s right
Hey

Get your groove on

[Verse 1]
Tell me, people, why you holdin’ back?
Won’t you feel the beat from this funky track
Ain’t no time to waste, get up on your feet
For a real good time, I got what you need

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, people, feel the feeling
Don’t you know you need some party time healing
Girls are dancing, DJ’s grooving so right
And right now I’m in need of a party
Let’s get it on, baby

[Chorus]
Girl, don’t be afraid of me ‘cause I won’t bite
And baby, I can promise I will do you right
So if you’re in the mood to rock with me tonight
Then we can hit the groove until the morning light
Gotta get my groove on (Groove on, groove on)
Gotta get your groove on (Groove on, groove on)
Gotta get my groove on (Groove on, groove on)
I got to get your groove on (Groove on, groove on)

[Verse 2]
Standing against the wall just won’t work tonight
If you came to get your groove on, do it right
So just work it up, gon’ and work it down
Do it over and over and over, let your groove come down

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, people, feel the feeling
Don’t you know you need some party time healing
Girls are dancing, DJ’s grooving so right
And right now, I’m in need of a party
Let’s get it on, baby

[Chorus]
Girl, don’t be afraid of me ‘cause I won’t bite
And baby, I can promise I will do you right
So if you’re in the mood to rock with me tonight
Then we can hit the groove until the morning light
Oh yeah, get your groove on
(Groove on, groove on)
Oh, gotta get your groove on
(Groove on, groove on)
Oh, ho, ho, baby (Groove on, groove on)
You gotta rock to the beat and get your groove on
(Groove on, groove on)
Break it down

[Bridge]
Oh, people, feel the feeling
Don’t you know you need some party time healing
Girls are dancing, DJ’s grooving so right
And right now, I’m in need of a party
Hey, let’s get it on

[Outro]
Girl, don’t be afraid of me ‘cause I won’t bite
And baby, I can promise I will do you right
So if you’re in the mood to rock with me tonight
Then we can hit the groove until the morning light
Oh, get your groove on, yeah
(Groove on, groove on)
Oh, why don’t you sing along? Get your groove on
(Groove on, groove on)
If you came party tonight (Groove on, groove on)

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
