Don't Cha Love It
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the empty pockets made for money
I was made for you and you for me, babe
Made to do it comes so naturally
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why not together, love?
We fit just like a glove
Our fire on top of fire
We'll take each other higher
And higher, higher, higher, yeah
Baby, don't cha love it (love it, don't, don't cha love it)
(Don't cha love it, love it, don't, don't cha love it)
Oh, don't cha love it (love it, don't, don't cha love it)
(Don't cha love it, don't cha love it, don't cha, ah)
I'm the beans and rice and you're the gravy
Add a little spice and make it tasty, oh
I'm the loving girl, and you're my lady
Don't you love the way we do it, baby, ooh
Why not together, love?
We fit just like a glove
Can you dig it, baby?
Our fire on top of fire
We'll take each other higher
And higher, higher, higher, yeah
Baby, don't cha love it (love it, don't, don't cha love it)
(Don't cha love it, love it, don't, don't cha love it)
Oh, don't cha love it (love it, don't, don't cha love it)
(Don't cha love it, don't cha love it, don't cha, baby)
Why not together, love?
We fit just like a glove
Can you dig it, baby? (can you dig it? )
Our fire on top of fire
We'll take each other higher
And higher, higher, higher, yeah
Baby baby don't cha love it
(Don't cha love it) Baby, baby don't cha love it (don't cha love it, don't cha love it)
Love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha, don't cha, don't cha, baby
Love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha, don't cha, don't cha, baby
Love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
Don't cha love it, love it, don't don't cha love it
