[Verse 1]
Beat is getting stronger
Feel it getting stronger
Sound is getting longer, too
Music is a thought to me

[Chorus]
I want to, I want to
I want to take you higher (take you higher)
I want to take you higher (take you higher)
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire (light my fire)
I want to take you higher (take you higher) Whoo!

[Verse 2]
Beat is nitty gritty
Feel it nitty gritty
Sound is in your city, too
Music's been a thought to me

[Chorus]
Don't you, don't you, don't, don't
Don't you wanna get higher (take you higher)
Don't you wanna get higher (take you higher)
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire (light my fire)
I wanna take you higher (take you higher)

[Bridge]
Boom shaka-laka-laka!
Boom shaka-laka-laka!
Boom shaka-laka-laka!

[Verse 3]
Beat is nitty gritty...
I 'm gonna take you high...
Beat is there, I'm with you
Beating there to lose you
Sound is there to help you groove
Music's been a thought to me
Everybody take your places

[Chorus][3x]

[Bridge]
Baby, baby, baby - baby, baby, baby (take you higher)
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire (take you higher)
Higher (take you higher)
(Take you higher)

[Chorus]

Duran Duran

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
