High Steppin
Barry White Lyrics

High stepper, hip dresser
He is a fashionable and well-groomed man who commands attention wherever he goes.

You got it together
He has a good understanding of what it takes to look and act like a confident person.

There's a guy in the neighborhood
The singer is talking about a man he knows in his community.

And, oh Lord, if I could
The singer expresses his admiration for the man's style and attitude.

I'd wrap him up and take him home
The singer wishes he could possess the man's qualities as his own.

His machine is always clean
The man takes good care of his car, which is always spotless and presentable.

Whenever he's on the scene
Whenever this man shows up, he seems to attract a crowd of admirers.

And there's always a crowd around
He is very popular and always surrounded by people who want to be around him.

Girls watch him like a hawk
Women are highly attentive to his body language and demeanor.

Watchin' his body talk
They are attracted to the way he carries himself and the confidence he exudes.

Oh Lord, they love for him to get down, ooh
The women are highly impressed by the way he dances and moves his body.

Oh, if I could find a way to tell him
The singer wishes he could communicate how much he admires the man.

I'm what he really needs
The singer believes he could be the perfect partner for this man.

Oh, but they say you're not a lady
The singer is aware of the social expectations placed on him for expressing his attraction to another man.

If you feel that you really need
The singer acknowledges his own desire for a man like this.

Someone who makes you feel like, ooh
The singer is looking for someone who can make him feel good about himself and bring joy into his life.

I don't know what I should do
The singer is unsure how to proceed with his feelings.

Always so polite
The man is well-mannered and considerate in his interactions with others.

He never seems uptight
He carries himself with a relaxed and casual attitude in all situations.

He's the kind of a man a woman wants around
Women are attracted to men who behave like him and embody the ideal of a confident, stylish individual.

Hair cut close and neat
The man takes good care of his appearance, including his hair, which is well-groomed.

Deck down to his foot
He clothes himself in fashionable, well-fitted attire down to his shoes.

And he's always 3-piece down
He dresses to make a statement with three-piece ensembles that show off his sense of style.

They say you've got to be a lady
The singer is aware of the social expectations placed on him for expressing his attraction to another man.

You've got to play along
The singer is aware of the conventions of society and the behavior expected of him in response to his feelings.

You can't come on strong
The singer is aware that he must be subtle in his expressions of attraction to this man.

I don't care if it's wrong
The singer is unapologetic about his attraction to the man, even if society disapproves.

I just want to get it on
The singer wants to pursue a romantic or sexual relationship with the man he admires.
