REALLY SAYING SOMETHING
For Bananarama's third single the tables turned dramatically, as this time the Fun Boy Three were performing backing vocals for them! By reaching #5 in the UK charts was a sure sign that Bananarama were ready to set off on their own.
LYRICS

Light Blue = Bananarama
Red = Fun Boy Three
White = Both

Hey, yeah, yeah
I was walking down the street (doo wah, doo wah)
When this boy started following me (oh yeah)
Oh, I ignored all the things he�d say (doo wah, doo wah)
He moved me in every way
(Aah) With his collar and buttons, on my side he was strutting

He was really saying something
(really saying something)
Really saying something
(really saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah, bop bop shoo be doo wah

He flirted every step of the way (doo wah, doo wah)
I could hear every word he'd say (oh yeah)
My resistance was getting low (doo wah, doo wah)
And my feelings started to show
(Aah) My heart started thumping, blood pressure jumping

He was really saying something
(really saying something)
Really saying something
(really saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah, bop bop shoo be doo wah

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
He walked me to my door (doo wah, doo wah)
I agreed to see him once more (oh yeah)
Lady like it may not be, yeah (doo wah, doo wah)
But he moved me tremendously
(Aah) Although he was bold, my heart he stole

He was really saying something
(really saying something)
Really saying something
(really saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah, bop bop shoo be doo wah

Really saying something
(really saying something)
Really saying something
(really saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah, bop bop shoo be doo wah

Really saying something
(really saying something)
Really saying something
(really saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah, bop bop shoo be doo wah

Really saying something
(really saying something)
Really saying something
(really saying something)
Bop bop shoo be doo wah, bop bop shoo be doo wah
THE VIDEO

The video features both Bananarama and the Fun Boy Three. The 'Nanas are more dominant, singing in their lovely 80's clothes with an array on cardboard cut-out instruments. They seem to be having a great time making the boys look very embarassed indeed.
