Give get take and have In Your Arms Again (Shake It)
Oo! Shake It
Uh Huh! Oo! Shake It
Shake It
Don't you be so mean. Let me say it right
You've got a walk, if could talk, would say dynomite
I must have been livin' good and true
'Cause I've been blessed with all of you
Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me, Baby
Shake it
I wanna be in your arms again, where I feel secure
Make the kind of love I know we like for sure
Blowin' all in my ear, sayin' things I like to hear
Give it up! Give it up! Give it up
Give it up, Baby
Shake it! Oo! Shake it
This has always been, you see, a sweet relation
Some ot the nice things I give to my temptation
With you I wanna be so nasty. All you have to do is ask me
Give it to you! Give it to you! Give it to you, Baby
Shake it
It's a sizzlin' romance, when I kiss your finger
With every little rock and roll, the feel will linger
From my heart on to my feet are temperature and heat
Shake it! Move it on, Baby! Shake it
Shake It! Oo! Shake it
Chorus:
I wanna be in your arms, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be in your arms again, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be in your arms again, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be in your arms again, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be in your arms again, where I feel secure
Make the kind of love I know we like for sure
Blowin' all in my ear, sayin' things I like to hear
Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me
Give it to me, Baby
Shake it
Shake it! Oo

It's a sizzlin' romance, when I kiss your finger
With every little rock and roll, the feel will linger
From my heart on to my feet are temperature and heat
Shake it! Move it on, Baby! Shake it
This Love Is Sweet
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
Things will never be the same
Since I foundyou, Baby
You've gotten over my chauvinist ways
This love is true, Baby
All I'm tryin' to say in some special way
Some people mess around and people play
I'm jumpin' in with both feet
This love is sweet
Even when you try and resist me
Don't let me be gone too long
I know that you will miss me
Oh! You're gonna miss me
Tryin' to make it simple, the best that I can
You're my kind of woman, I got to be your man
You're like a candy treat
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
Ah! Can't quite get enough of your sweet lovin'
Kissin' and a-huggin', pullin' and a-tuggin'
Do it all night, make it right
This fove is sweet
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
Tryin' to make it simple, the best that I can
You're my kind of woman, I got to be your man
You're like a candy treat
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
This love is sweet
P.S. I Love You
I guess I'II always feel the same
Love is strange
Ah! P.S. I loveyou, Baby
I wouldn't have it any other way
As long as there's been a night and day
It's been you and you crazy ways
I've loved you long as I can remember
Your precious love's burning ember
Together, Baby, how can we lose
Always bsen to me, Bsby, a longtime friend
Been a long, long winter. Glad we're lovers again
Way back long ago, we made a vow
I don't quite remember now
But it ended, P.S. I love you, Baby
I'm pledging my heart in with you
Just to be your man
Give us some kind of chance. I love you, Baby
I've loved you long as I can remember
Your precious love's burning ember
Together, Baby, how can we lose
We are united, Baby, longtime lovers
No need to fight it 'cause we discovered
I love you, Baby

Your precious love's burning ember
Together, Baby, how can we lose
Always been to me, Baby, a longtime friend

Love is strange

As long as there's been a night and day
It's been you and your crazy ways
Party Night
Oo! Check it
Oo! Check it! Check it
Oo! Oo! Hey! Hey! Oo
Have a party night, disco sounds and lights, sights
Everybody was groovin', we were movin'
A girl I used to know, I bumped into her right at the door
Groovin', we were movin'
With just a little time I'd like to make you mine
I got you on the floor. This Iime I know
You don't have to go
Don't have to go, don't have to go
No! No! You don't have to go
Hustle party down, just dancin' with the people around
Groovin', everybody was movin'
My girl's so fancy-free, such a thing, so exciting to me
Get down with it, Baby. We were movin'
Having cheese and wine, dancin' all the time
Could hardly turn around, little fine girl
She was just gettin' down
All your sweet lovin'. Give me all your your sweet lovin'
Give me all, all, all your sweet lovin'
All your sweet lovin'
Give me all your sweet lovin'. Give me all your sweet lovin'
Give me all your sweet lovin', all your sweet lovin'
All your sweet lovin'
Be my lady. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey
The set had just begun, a little duck and my baby was gone
Get down with it, Baby. She was movin'
The place was in a groove, and really en the move
Rippin' up the floor. All I could do
Was just rave for more, with
All your sweet lovin', give me all your your sweet lovin'
Give me all, all, all your sweet lovin'
All your sweet lovin'
Give me all your sweet lovin'. Give me all your sweet lovin'
Give me all your sweet lovin', all your sweet lovin'
All your sweet lovin'

Soul Music
On the west side, there's a store front space
Down in the basement of a secret place
Where people there don't mind
'Cause everybody's got time
Close relations with the people you know
Kind of funky, but you don't want to go
Happy for the love I found
I'm celebrating all over town
Hold on! Hold on, Baby. Let me take you higher, higher
Shucky, shucky, funky, set my baby on fire
Soul music is so pretty
When you livin' in the city
Swingin'.in and out, to and fro
Why she bump me there, Child, I don't know
Just the way I wanna be
She likes to keep me free
Takin' wind, suckin' in with the beat
Slappin' hands on the good fine meat
She sure likes to walk with me
With the soul music
You just continue to shout. Let me take you higher, higher
Shucky, shucky, funky, set your baby on fire
Soul music is so pretty
When you doin' in the city
Feel a tingle all in my pants
I can make it if I take a chance
Can't go nowhere, just wanna dance
With the soul music
Soul music
Soul music
Soul, soul
C'mon, C'mon, Baby, let me take you higher, higher
Shucky, shucky, funky, set your baby on fire
Soul music is so pretty
When you're livin' in the city
On the west side, there's a store front space
Down in the basement of a secret place
Where people there don't mind
'Cause everybody's got time
With the soul music
Everybody walk, soul music
Everybody take, soul
Soul music, got soul
(Everybody) soul music
Hold on! Hold on, Baby. Let me take you higher, higher
Shucky, shucky, funky, set my baby on fire
Soul music is so pretty
When you livin' in the city
Swingin' in and out, to and fro
Why she bump me there, Child, I don't know
Just the way I wanna be
She likes to keep me free
She likes to walk with me, soul
She likes to talk with me, soul
She likes to shout it to me, soul
Movin' in and out, soul
Only You Babe
Only you Babe. Only you Babe
Only you Babe. Only you Babe
Sometimes I get a little lonely. I'm lonely for you, Girl
All my body pains are in need for the good things
All the makin' love and breakin' bread, face to face
You get down with the love most anyplace
With only you Babe. Oh! How I know
This love can't be replaced
A halo glow above your face
I kiss your lips, my blood it race
You lift me up and turn me 'round
Can appreciate this good love that's goin' down
Only you Babe. Only you Babe
Only you Babe. Only you Babe
People don't understand, mislead with their intents
Think they can get along with anyone who gives sweet
compliments
My baby, without tryin', never is denying
So down with the satisfying, always gratifying
Nothing can go wrong. This love can carry on
So hot inside, you let me slide
A winnin' try, you make me cry
Child, you don't know, you've 'come a part of me
Good, good feelings, givin' tenderly
Oo! Oo! Lift me up Babe. Oo! Oo! Lift me up Babe
Only you Babe. Only you Babe
Aw! Only you Babe. Only you Babe
Mr. Welfare Man
Welfare! Welfare! Welfare
A hard sacrifice, I wanna testify
Stayin' a lovin' man
Society gave me no choice, tried to silence my voice
Put my woman on the welfare
I'm so tired
I'm so tired of tryin' to prove my equal rights
Tho' I've made some mistakes, for goodness sakes
Why you wanna keep messin' up my life
Keep away from me, Mr. Welfare
Keep away from me. Keep away. Keep away
Mr. Welfare. Oo
Holdin' me back, usin' your tact
To make me live against my will
But that's how it go. Wow! I don't. know
I don't believe this life's for real
Like the private eye for the F.B.I.
Just as envious as the Ku Klux Klan
Tho' I'm of peasant fate and I'm tryin' to escape
I've got to do whatever I think I can
Keep away from me, Mr. Welfare
Didn't you hear me. Don't come near me
Mr. Welfare! Mr. Welfare
They wanna say I'm a lazy man
But you got to understand, there's a thing about my pride
You can't make me move if there ain't no groove
'Cause it eats me all up inside. Oo
Welfare! Welfare
Just another day, tryin' to make a way
But all I see outside of me is crime
What can I do to make it through
Ain't gonna sell nobody's time
I got a woman true and a baby too
With a love that grows and grows
Here come the bills, there go the thrills
And a job. All doors are closed
Keep away from me, Mr. Welfare! Mr. Welfare! Mr. Welfare
Keep away from me, Mr. Welfare Man
You might wanna say I'm a lazy man
But you got to understand, there's a thing about my pride
You can't make me move if there ain't no groove
'Cause it eats me all up inside. Oo
Welfare! Welfare! Welfare
