Lyrics

D.J. Hit That Button

The way I have to look

I want more than anybody possibly can

The way I have to go for it

It makes me stand up, shake

And feel like humming

I feel just like a radio

And when the D.J. hits that button

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!

Anyone can have the beat

Ooh, but they got to learn to use it

There's a special channel here

So treat it gently or you lose it

I feel just like a radio

And when the D.J. hits that button

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!

Hit that button, hit that button

Hit that button, hit that button

The way I have to look

I want more than anybody possibly can

The way I have to go for it

I've got to stand up, shake

And feel like humming

I feel just like a radio

And when the D.J. hits that button

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!

That's the way it was meant to be, yeah!

That's the way it feels right for me , yeah!
