You know what fellas? What?
I wanna get this beat. Pull out them drums loud.
I wanna hear them kickin'.
Kick it so loud they can feel 'em way back in Mississippi.
Like that? Aw, yeah, like that.
All you ever give me is the blues.
C' mon fellas, let's do this.
Spendin' all my time trying to show how I feel when there is so much I can do.
Oh, I wanna please you. (Yeah.)
You say you care for me, but you don't act that way.
C'mon, girl, who you trying to fool.
Tell, Dwayne.
Just when I try to fill you what I can do for you, I feel like I'm wasting my time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't see myself without you.
That's why I hang around.
All you ever give me is the blues.
Girl, you know I'm spending all my time pleasing you.

Oh, I wanna please you.
There's got to be a way.
I'm thinking every day.
C'mon, girl, please give me a clue.
Tell, Dwayne.
Just because he drives a Porsche (Yeah) and I just drive a note, But what about the man inside.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, if that is what you're into,
Why don't you let me know instead of always giving me the blues.
