LUMPENPROLETARIAT—Are we gonna make it girl?  Or are we gonna drift and drift and drift…  Now, don’t you get me wrong ‘cos I’m not tryin’, now, to end it all.  It’s just that I have seen…

“How ‘Bout Us” (1981) by Champaign

(Oooh)
(Oh-oh-ooooh)
Oh-oh-ooooooh-hooo
(Oh-oh-ooooooh)
(Oh-oh-ooooooh)
Ooh, short and sweet
No sense in draggin’ on past our needs
Let’s don’t keep it hangin’ on
If the fire’s out
We should both be gone
(Some people are made for each other)
(Some people can love one another for life)
(How ’bout us?)

(Some people can hold it together)
(Last) through all kinds of weather
Can we?
(Oh-oh-oooooooooh)
Oh-oh-oooooooooh-hooo
(Oh-oh-oooooooooh)
(Oh-oh-oooooooooh)

Now, don’t you get me wrong
(What you sayin’ to me, baby?)
‘Cos I’m not tryin’ now
To end it all
(Let’s start something new)
It’s just that I have seen
(What have you seen?)
Too many lover’s hearts lose their dream
(We won’t lose it)
(Some people are made for each other)
(Some people can love one another for life)
(How ’bout us?)

(Some people can hold it together)
(Last) through all kinds of weather
Can we?

(How ’bout us?)
(How ’bout us, baby?)
(How ’bout us?)
(How about us, baby?)
(How ’bout us?)
(How ’bout us, baby?)

Are we gonna make it, girl?
Or are we gonna drift and drift and drift?
Together again
Ooooh, love
(Some people are made for each other)
(Some people can love one another for life)
(How ’bout us?)
How ’bout us, baby?

(Some people can hold it together)
Some people can hold it together
(Last) whooa-ooh
How ’bout us?
Some people
(Some people are made for each other)
(Some people can love one another for life)
Some people can love one another for life
(How ’bout us?)
How ’bout us, baby?

(Some people can hold it together)
Some people can hold it together
(Laaast through)
How ’bout us?

How ’bout us, baby?

(Some people are made for each other)
(Some people can love one another for life)
Some people can love one another for life
(How ’bout us)
You and me, baby
(Some people can hold it together)
Hold it together
(Laaast through)
Can we?
Say that we can make it, baby

(Some people are made for each other)
Whoooa, yeah
(Some people can love one another for life)
(How ’bout us?)
