you can’t stop an avalanche as it races down the hill
you can try to stoptheseasons girl butyou know you never will
and youcan try to stop my dancing feet but i just cannot stand still
cause the world keeps spinning ’round and ’round
and my heart’s keeping time to the speed of sound
i was lost ’til i heard the drums then i found my way
tracy link
cause you can’t stop the beat
ever since this whole world began
a woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man
and so i’m gonna shake and shimmy it the best that i can today
’cause you can’t stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
you can wonder if you wanna but i’ll never ask why
if you try to hold me down i’m gonna spit in your eye and say
that you can’t stop the beat

you can try to stop the paradise we’re dreaming of
but you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
’cause you can’t stop the beat
