Baby if you tryin' to get to good love you gota (follow the direction)

I can tell that you never bin in you
Waste a lot a time

This place but it ain't in a phone book
An what ya heard is wrong
So there ain't no need to look

Ya heard a lot about it

But the secret is
Girl you gotta know
Somebody that's bin there before
An girl your lookin' at him oh girl your lookin' at him

If you want to go up there
Am a show you how
But you can't be scared
Listen close and pay attention
And follow the direction
Your gonna make a left on touchin' boulevard
When you see kissin' street
Make a right keep straight
And go all the way
An that'll run ya into good love

Don't get me wrong I ain't bin a lot
