Close the door
Let me give you what you've been waiting for
Baby, I got so much love to give
I want to give it all to you

Close the door
No need to worry no more
Let's bring this day to a pleasant end
Girl, it's me and you now
I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door
Let me rub your back where you say it's sore
Come on get closer and closer
So close to me
Let's get lost in each other
Come here, baby

I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door, baby
And let me blow your mind
Plenty good lovin' all through the night
And then again and then again
When the morning comes
Come here, woman

Come here baby, let me blow your mind
Let me do what I want to you
Let me do what I want to you
Let me make sweet love to you, baby, uh
Ooh, baby, oh baby, so good, baby
So good, so good, so good, baby, uh

You'll do it to me, I'll do it to you
Come here, baby, lay your head next to mine
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ahh, uh
So good, sweet woman
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel
So good, so good, so good, so good, baby, uh

Let me do what I wanna do
All I wanna do is make love to you
Let me do what I wanna do




All I wanna do is make love to you
Let me do, do, do, do, do, do, do, uh

No bullshit🔥

Teddy's name doesn't get mentioned much anymore in "great singer" conversations, but us "grown folks" who grew up during the 70's will never forget that at one time Teddy was THE MAN...even before he went solo! (Shout out to Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes!) This will always be my favorite Teddy cut but I loved so many! Just plain old good music that stirred the soul. Not much of that around anymore...so sad. 😪 R.I.P. Teddy...we still remember!💯💗

@Vikki Holmes Teddy was alright. He was just ok. I clap for teddy. I clap, scream and stomp my feet for Luther and the isley brothers. Those two- Luther and the Isleys ran away with all the awards. Luther was out of this world and so were the Isley brothers.

Vikki Holmes

He was definitely the man I still stop and hollar when I hear his oldies close the door, it don’t hurt now , I mean the whole track was it ❤

Michele DeLeon

@richard samad Luther is great . Two different type of vocal styles. Luther is smooth and Teddy is gravelly which is what I really like.

richard samad

@Michele DeLeon What about Luther

Michele DeLeon

In my eyes he still sets the standard for best soul singers.
