Yeah yeah, yeah
Mmmmm
Yeah
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Yeah

Hey, why don't you just stop trying to be so cool
And let me know the lowdown of how you feel about things?
Oh, you ain't doing nothing but jive, baby
And we've got a very serious problem, yeah
Yeaaa-aaah

Come on, baby
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)
It's time for you to stop playing with my feelings, girl
Come on, girl, you know it damn well, baby
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)

Oh, if there's nothing else, you can make up your mind right away
And it seems like to me you're trying your best to delay
Can't you see I wanna love you?
As long as you want it, baby
As long as you need it, baby

Oh, baby, baby, believe me when I tell you every word I say is true (Believe me, yeah)
Cause, honey, I adore you (Adore you, adore you)
And all this time we've been wasting, baby
Is only a game for fools
Yeaaa-aaah

Come on, baby
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)
It's time for you to stop trying to be so cool, oh mama
Come on, girl
(It's time to get down, down, yeah)

Oh, if you would only stop, mama, stop all that stumbling that you're doing
And come on, come on in, and give me all the things I need
Can't you see I wanna love you?
As long as you want it, baby
As long as you need it, baby

Oh, baby, baby, baby, it's time to get down, girl (Oh, baby)
Come on
(It's time to get down, yeah)
Yeaaa-aaah
It's time for you to stop playing with my feelings, girl (Oooh, oooh)
Come on, come on, girl(It's time to get down, yeah)
Ooo-oooh
Come on, baby (Ooooh, oooh)
(It's time to get down, yeah)
As long as you want it, baby
(Ooooh, oooh)
As long as you need it, girl
(It's time to get down, yeah)
Come on, come on, girl
Ooo-oooh
(Oooh, oooh)
Yeah, yeaaaah, yeah
(It's time to get down, yeah)
It's time for you to put your arms around me (Oooh, oooh)
Lord, bless the day you found me, girl
(It's time to get down, yeah)




Come on, girl
Yeaaa-aaah
