The Temprees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me caught up
If all dreams came true theyβ²d all be of you
You stay on my mind all the time, ooh yeah
When I'm feeling blue the only affection is you
Girl Iβ²m (Caught up)
In love's maze
Ooh babe, hey girl
You know every time that I walk each step is taken for you
Every time that I talk each word is about you too, ooh
You got me spinning β²round β²til my heads in a daze
Girl I'm (Caught up)
In a love, in a loveβ²s maze
Hey baby, yeah yeah
I don't know that stages of this love Iβ²m going through
I'm phasing, crazy, strung out over you girl

Word on everythng.
1973! Back when I was 15yrs old. Going with my first love named Adrian. Dancing off this song. Holding each other so tight. This song would bring out feelings and emotions on the dance floor. That slow grind would be hard pressed. Lmbo!
Red light, blue light, no light bulbs special. In the dark where your hands can roam.
The girls were so sweet and soft, back in those days.
Gang Bangin Days and Get High Nights. In the original era of Bed-Stuy (Do or Die) Brooklyn, New York City. YOU HEAR ME???
This is #CLASSIC TEMPREES

Nothing like music from the 70's Throwback Jams β€
@orlandofriend
This group is so underrated. I think they were just too late to the market for this style that the Stylistics, Delphonics and such had already done previous years. But man, the music is timeless and done so well, and has to be appreciated by those who know the deal.
@steffilbrak
One of my favorites back in the day , I used to sing this to my boyfriend ... he loved it .
