Yeah â€" yeah, yeah

Mmmmm

Yeah

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
