Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh shoop shoo doop shay day shoop shoo doop
Folks say I'm tripping and I'm losing my mind
Walking in circles and I'm talking in rhymes
I can't help it 'cause it happens each time when you're near
Whispering words that melt me like wax
You knock out smile that takes me to the max
'Cause your sweetness is my weakness
And your loving takes me higher
Your sweetness is my weakness, my desire
Shoop shoo doop shay day shoop shoo doop
Boy your love is divine
Uh shoop shoo doop shay day shoop shoo doop
You treat me so fine
Rare as collectibles one of a kind
What did I do to deserve this find
All of my dreams are wrapped up
And designed in your kiss
Yeah
You're my king I'm your African queen
Straight from out of a classic love scene
Having your touch is truly what it means to be loved
Yeah boy
'Cause your sweetness is my weakness
And your loving takes me higher
Your sweetness is my weakness na-na-na-na
Come on mmm mmm
C'mon baby
You got me saying uh shoop shoo doop

And your loving takes me higher

And your loving takes me higher
Oh sweetness is my weakness

Just heard this one in the grocery store after having completely forgotten about this song. It is so annoying that radio stations rarely ever dust off some of the more obscure classics like this one.
@AnoRex770
