Lyrics[]
Ali, Aylin and Blake:
5, 6, 7, 8!
Blake:
Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that I can today
Aylin & Blake:
Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But I 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!
Ali:
Hey you guys!
Other contenders:
Hey you Ali!
Ali:
I'm gonna tell you something!
You can't stop today
As it comes speeding down the track
Child, yesterday is history
And it's never coming back
Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
And it don't know white from black
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
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Eliminated contenders:
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
Aylin & Blake with eliminated contenders:
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop the paradise
We're dreaming of
Blake with eliminated contenders:
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to
Ali & Blake with eliminated contenders:
stay!
Ali with eliminated contenders:
You can't stop the beat!
Aylin & Blake:
You can't stop the beat!
Ali with eliminated contenders:
You can't stop the beat!
Aylin & Blake:
You can't stop the beat!
Ali with eliminated contenders:
You
Ali, Aylin & Blake with eliminated contenders:
can't stop the beat!
