Moody's Mood
George Benson & Patti Austin Lyrics

There I go, there I go, there I go There I go
The singer is acknowledging that he is going, leaving, or doing something important.

Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control Such a funny thing but every time you're near me I never can behave
The singer is saying that the woman he's with is irresistible to him, and anytime she's around him, he finds it difficult to control himself.

You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic There's music all around me, crazy music Music that keeps calling me so very close to you Turns me your slave
The woman's smile is enchanting, and the music created through their connection is a powerful addiction for the singer, making him her slave.

Come and do with me any little thing you want to Anything baby, just let me get next to you Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes? Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
The singer is offering himself up to the woman, proclaiming that he has never seen a beauty like her, and is questioning whether or not she might be an angel.

How I worry about you Just can't live my life without you Baby come here, don't have no fear
The singer admits that he has become deeply invested in this relationship and requires the woman's presence in his life.

Oh, is there a wonder why I'm really feeling in the mood for love? So tell me why stop to think About this weather, my dear? This little dream might fade away There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
The singer is deeply and utterly in love, amazed and uncertain about the depths of his feelings, while trying to keep them alive and present.

Won't you come and put our two hearts together? That would make me strong and brave Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
The singer is hoping that by joining their hearts together, they will be able to face anything life throws their way and he won't be afraid anymore.

If there's a cloud up above us Go on and let it rain I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
The singer believes that their love is so strong that it can make it through any storm or obstacle.

Oh my baby Won't you please let me love you And give a relief from this awful misery?
The singer is in agony and wants the woman to love him back so he can be free from his own suffering.

What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet? I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before Can't you understand me?
The singer is confused and questioning why the woman is talking about loving him when he thought they felt the same way about each other.

Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon My soul's on fire, come on and take me I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet
The singer is begging the woman to make up her mind about their relationship because he's emotionally exhausted and is ready to follow her lead.

Oh baby, you make me feel so good Let me take you by the hand Come let us visit out there In that new promised land Maybe there we can find A good place to use a loving state of mind
The singer is telling the woman how good she makes him feel and asks her to come with him to a new land where they can find a better way to offer love to each other.

I'm so tired of being without And never knowing what love's about James Moody, you can come on in And you can blow now if you want to We're through.
The singer is tired of being alone and not knowing what love is all about. He's inviting James Moody to play the saxophone, indicating that they're about to break up as a couple.
