I was walkin' down the street
When this boy started following me
Though I ignored all the things he said
He moved me in every way
With his collar unbuttoned
By my side he was struttin'

He was really sayin' somethin' 
Really sayin' somethin' 
(Bop bop soo-be-do-wa)
(Bop bop soo-be-do-wa) 

He flirted every step of the way 
I could hear every word he'd say 
My resistance was gettin' low 
And my feelings started to show 
My heart started pumpin', blood pressure jumpin' 

He was really sayin' somethin', 
Really sayin' somethin' 
(Bop bop soo-be-do-wa)
(Bop bop soo-be-do-wa) 

He walked me to my door 
I agreed to see him once more 
Late night it may not be 
But he moved me tremendously 
Though he was bold, my heart he stole 
He was really sayin' somethin', 
Really sayin' somethin' 
(Bop bop soo-be-do-wa)
(Bop bop soo-be-do-wa) 

He was really sayin' somethin'

Bananarama

Bananarama are an English female pop band who have had success on the pop and dance charts since 1982. Rather than relying on harmony, the band generally sings in unison, as do their background vocalists. Although there have been line-up changes, the group enjoyed most success as a trio made up of lifelong friends Siobhan Fahey, Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin. In The 1980s, Bananarama were listed in the Guinness World Records as the all female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold. Since 1992, Woodward and Dallin have continued Bananarama as a Duo. more »
