High Inergy
I melt, I feel so weak
It's gettin hard to go to sleep
With this feeling, this feeling on my mind
It needs you baby to satisfy
You can't turn me off
I can't suddenly stop
You changed me from cold to hot
Now I'm ready to give you all the love I've got
Please don't leave me now
Can't you read in my eyes
This need I have to love, love you
So don't tease me now
Please, please me now
You can't turn me off
Not in the middle of turning me on
I can't suddenly stop
Each and every time we touch
Ooh the feeling too much
Take me to that special place
You've gone too far to leave me so spaced baby
So don't tease me now
Please, please me now
You can't turn me off
Not in the middle of turning me on
I can't suddenly stop
If you love me like I love you
Then you'll do what I want you to
You'll come and hold me in your lovin arms
And make my heart rush straight to the stars baby
You won't tease me now
You won't do nothin but please me now
You can't turn me off
Not in the middle of turning me on

I remember when herb Kent would play this song every Sunday afternoon when I was growing up and I didn’t realize that what he was playing was some of the best music ever made! RIP Mr. Kent and I appreciate the music you played when I was a young man!

Herbie Babe was the best, I surely did appreciate the best music in the whole wide world was this music. It was clean but at the same time dirty enough for the adults. It was music that made you think and at the same time you would be dancing you ass off. I Just want to Thank GOD Almighty for sharing tem with the whole world!!!❤️❤️❤️ RIP Herb Kent and the rest of you Earth Shakers!!!

Good damn song. And I was born in1977. I hate new music. This reminds me of my childhood listening to my mama listen to this. I'm so..... jealousy of this era and generation. You guys grew up having to experience fun times.
