Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There you were, standing there, smiling at me.
You were just standing there, when I knew yes I did
That I was hypnotized by the neon lights baby you took my breath away, Oh I didn't know what to say girl.
Wow and you brought me true love, (wow) so good in every way, (wow) and anytime you want me to love you baby
Say the word, (say the word) say the word the magic word the magic word the magic word the magic word the magic word one word one word one word one word
There you were, (there you were) oh with your loving arms all around me, I was so glad you found me,
heaven above must be shining it's shining its ever loving light down on me.

One of the best male groups ever. Five fine brutha’s who could truly sing, naturally, collectively. Wonderful harmony and the steps they would do. They would wear a stage out n their day. Dramatically speaking of D(troit’s) own Dramatics❤️

@raymondmorgan7589

No words for how their music makes me feel . . . they are the epitome of what great soul music is all about; they brought it and remain in a class all by themselves.
