Better Do It Well
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was a lady, sitting alone
Played out of line
She does a number, out on the floor
She is so fine
Get it up, get it up
Drinkin' my papaya
Good to see things my way baby
What'd you say, hey
Tramp of the neighborhood
Not bad looking and feels so good
I knew the lady had something to tell
If you're gonna love me better do it well
Come on babe, show me a sign
I wanna know
One says right, one says left
I don't know which way to go
Ooh, you got love, you got love
Turn on the lights
Won't you send it my way
Yeah, come on, we'll do it tonight
Tramp of the neighborhood
Not bad looking and feels so good
I knew the lady had something to tell
If you're gonna love me better do it well
Do you love her, I don't know
Well do you need her, I think so
Do you, do you have to act so blind
Girl you got my love and then you leave me behind
Tramp of the neighborhood
Not bad looking and feels so good
I knew the lady had something to tell
If you're gonna love me better do it well
If you're gonna love me better do it well
If you're gonna love me better do it well
Tramp of the neighborhood
Not bad looking and feels so good
I knew the lady had something to tell
If you're gonna love me better do it well
