Ow, mmm, mmm, mmm
Click-click-click-click

Make your body stop
Strike a love that's so deep
Make your body stop

Turn your head this way, baby, I'm focused in on you
And your sexy smile
Turn a little, babe, left, blend into the light
I'd like to do you perfectly right

And I want to snap, out, you, strike a love that's so deep
And I want to snap, out, you, 'Cause I like to move thee

Click on over here, baby, the color of your face
Expose your beauty and grace

Ow, out, you, strike a love that's so deep
Said I want to snap, out, you, yeah, hey, 'cause I like to move thee

Come a little closer, got the total view
Like to get and show to you
Your jeans they fit so tight, the camera takes all of you
In my darkroom turn out the light

Said I want to snap, out, you, 'cause I like to move thee
And I want to snap, out, you, strike a love that's so deep

Mmm, the upper persuasion from the lower invasion

Ow, out
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

A shot of you, you sexy thing

And further proof that 1981 had to be one of the best years in music history!

Mark Adams was a freak of nature on the bass!! His tone, his ability to make the bass growl and roar like a lion is what got me started as a bass player back in the day!! He was definitely a great funk bass player and he needs to be remembered as such. Rest In Peace MARK"The Hansolor"ADAMS and MARK"Drac"HICKS!!
