Yeah â€" yeah, yeah
Mmmmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm
Yeah
Hey, why don't you just stop trying to be so cool
And let me know the lowdown of how you feel about things?
Oh, you ain't doing nothing but jive, baby
And we've got a very serious problem, yeah
Yeaaa-aaah
Come on, baby
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)
It's time for you to stop playing with my feelings, girl
Come on, girl, you know it damn well, baby
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)
Oh, if there's nothing else, you can make up your mind right away (Down)
And it seems like to me you're trying your best to delay (Down)
Can't you see I wanna love you?
As long as you want it, baby
As long as you need it, baby
Oh, baby, baby, believe me when I tell you every word I say is true (Believe me, yeah)
Cause, honey, I adore you (Adore you, adore you)
And all this time we've been wasting, baby
Is only a game for fools
Yeaaa-aaah
Come on, baby
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)
It's time for you to stop trying to be so cool, oh mama
Come on, girl
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)
Oh, if you would only stop, mama, stop all that stumbling that you're doing (Down)
And come on, come on in, and give me all the things I need (Down)
Can't you see I wanna love you?
As long as you want it, baby
As long as you need it, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby, it's time to get down, girl (Oh, baby)
Come on
(It's time to get down, yeah)
Yeaaa-aaah
It's time for you to stop playing with my feelings, girl (Oooh, oooh)
Come on, come on, girl
(It's time to get down, yeah)
Ooo-oooh
Come on, baby (Ooooh, oooh)
(It's time to get down, yeah)
As long as you want it, baby
(Ooooh, oooh)
As long as you need it, girl
(It's time to get down, yeah)
Come on, come on, girl
Ooo-oooh
(Oooh, oooh)
Yeah, yeaaaah, yeah
(It's time to get down, yeah)
It's time for you to put your arms around me (Oooh, oooh)
Lord, bless the day you found me, girl
(It's time to get down, yeah)
Come on, girl
Yeaaa-aaah
