Good lovin'

Unh..... yeah

Blackstreet coming back inches

We're getting 9-6
Kicking it live

I'm gonna do this with a little Chauncey Black style

Mmm......

Listen..

My mama told me,

That there will be a day like this

I will run into someone,

Who will just knock me off my feet

That kind of woman,

Who will be right there for me

Never thought that it could be,

But now it's happening to me

I finally found someone

Who will give me all her affection

And I want to keep her right here next to me

Thinking about me and my lady

Giving her love all night and through the day

Getting that feelin'

All I want is good lovin' (ooohhhhhhhh)

Good lovin' in the mornin'

Good lovin' in the evenin' (oooohhhhhhh)

We can do it 'till the break of dawn (break of dawn)

Cause you give me that feelin' (help me sing it)

I want to do it in the morning (oooohhhhhhhhooooooo)

Let's do it in the evening time (all night long)

We can do it anywhere you want (baby, yeh)

Just give me good

Just give me good lovin'

I remember

Just messin' around

With all of them men an' all

Didn't really care for

But this special woman

Really made a difference in me

And I want to be the best man I can be

And she will see

It may be time when we're apart from each other (each other)

But my girl she knows and I know it's alright

Pick up the phone

Give her a call

A few minutes later,

She's knocking at my door

Now I'm getting that feelin' (feelin')

All I want is good lovin' (oooohhhhhhh)

Good lovin' in the mornin' (baby)

Good lovin' in the evenin' (oohh baby)

We can do it 'till the the break of dawn (break of dawn)

Cause you give me that feelin' (all I want is good love)

We can do it in the mornin' (oh yeah)

Let's do it in the evening time (anywhere baby)

We can do it anywhere you want (anywhere)

Just give me good lovin' (oooohhhhhh.... umh humh)

Now I finally found someone

To give me all of her affection (affection)

And she knows that I know it's alright (oh yeah)

Pick up the phone

Give her a call
