Play along at home with the lyrics:

[Verse 1] Last night, I had the strangest dream I sailed away to China In a little rowboat to find ya And you said you had to get your laundry clean Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean? And you said [Chorus] Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride Nobody gonna slow me down Oh no, I got to keep on moving Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground Oh no, I got to keep on moving [Verse 2] You're on a roll and now you pray it lasts The road behind was rocky But now you're feeling cocky You look at me and you see your past Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast? And she said [Chorus repeat] [Bridge] (Never let another girl like you) Work me over (Never let another girl like you) Drag me under (If I meet another girl like you) I will tell her (Never want another girl like you) Have to say, oh [Chorus repeatx2] (Whoa) [Chorus repeatx2]
