Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With me, baby
Shine on
When you love somebody
It can really drive you out your mind
When you feel for somebody
And your mind is workin' overtime, baby
Oh, I am strongly attracted to you
I'm tryin' to get my message to you
I've finally made up my mind
I think I'll try love one more time
‘Cause I know what I am feelin' inside
Is a sign comin' straight from my heart
My love that I now send to you, to you
I've got to find a way to you, to you, to you, you
Thank you for using Top40db.com.
Girl, I'm your lover
And I know I'm ‘bout to blow your mind
But soon you'll discover
That my openness is right on time
When you move your body
Girl, I just ain't got the words to say
What I feel when I touch ya
But I'm just a dreamin' time away
Aw, girl, every word I say is true
If I ever meant a thing to you
Won't you show me that shine in your eyes
‘Cause I think I'll try love one more time
I know what I am feeling inside
Is a sign comin' straight from my heart
Won't you smile with me, baby, shine on
Hey, lovely lady, I've got to get my message to you
Pretty baby, hoo, special lady
Hey foxy lady, won't you shine your eyes on me, girl
Shine it, baby
Lady

J'ai eu la chance de le voir en direct à Paris au Zenith en 1984, accompagné de Stanley Clarke et Philipp Bailey et comme invité Ray Parker Junior. Je n'oublierai jamais ce concert. 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

Im Asian and I don’t have many foreign friends, not to mention that friends from different races. However, after watching so many funk music videos, I was deeply impressed by how talented and innovative African people are in music. I used to know very less about this kind of music but now I think this brings out so much happiness to the world. Thank you YouTube! This is a total revelation for me.
