Mary Jane Girls - Break It Up Lyrics






Up, up, up
I can break it up
Up, up
I can break it up

Boy, I really think that you and I should have a talk
You've been running 'round on me all over town
If you think I'm just another girl, then I will walk
Don't you ever lose respect and don't put me down
I've been called up by your girlfriends, telling foolish lies
And they tell me you've been tripping out on me
If you think I'm gonna stand it, then you must be jive
I will never be that blind, boy, don't you see

And, boy, if that's the way you want it
I can surely break it
I don't need you if you won't be good to me
And, boy, if that's what you desire
Then you're just a liar
I don't think you're good enough for me

Up, up, up
(Break it up, boy, oh, baby, baby)
I can break it up
Up, up
(Break it up, boy, little boy, I can break it up)
I can break it up

Little boy, I hear you're losing ground on all your needs
And you know that if you lose me, you'll be lost
I just only want to satisfy all of your needs
And I didn't even care about the cost
You've been seen with Jean and Jane and Joan and Brenda
And I hear that they've been giving you money too
If you ever get this letter that I send ya
Then you'll read it down in writing we are through

Because that's just the way I want it
This time, boy, it's over
I can't stand the pain of being hurt by you
This time. boy, it's my desire
And you are just a liar
So I'll call it quits, this time we're really through

Oh-whoa, boy, we've got to break it up
Oh-whoa, baby, we must break it up

    This song didn't chart on the Billboard Top 200, and only reached #79 on the R&B charts???? I find that hard to believe!! When I bought this album back in '85, I played this one all the time, and pretty much ignored the rest of the album. Hot bassline... Thanks for posting the extended version!

    R.... F....

    around 1985 both mary Jane girls and cameo single life album had similar album cover concept

    R.... F....

    Yes,, Rodney. I did notice that the album covers were similar. I had both of them!

    The dance was "The Snake". 1985. We was "working it" out in Newark, New Jersey. The good ol' days. Those basslines and guitar riffs are 2 damn funky!

  16. M.... ....

    The Mary Jane Girls were so kickazz! This was the shit back in 1985. The bassline is vicious! They don't do it like Rick, SCB and the MJG's used to bring it.

    M.... ....

    The Stone City Band are the ones who's playing for them..............
