It’s groovin’ time—that’s what my baby told me
If you can’t groove me, boy, you might as well let me be
It’s lovin’ time—that’s what my baby told me
If you can’t love me, boy, you might as well let me be
Now, she said she don’t want me hanging in the street
Don’t want me going down seeing old Pete
Hanging out on Broadway is not her stick
Staying up late at night is not her kick
Wants me to tease her all the time
Wants me to love her later in the night
That’s what she told me
If you can’t do it, boy, you might as well let me be
Baby, it’s groovin’ time—that’s what my baby told me
If you can’t groove me, boy, you might as well let me be
Said she don’t want me shootin’ no pool
Running in the street, acting like a dog-gone fool
Said she just want me to stay at home
Just tend to my business—leave other people alone
Said she don’t want me hanging in them nightclubs
All them Broadway funky, funky nightclubs
That’s what she told me
If you can’t do it, boy, you might as well let me be
It’s groovin’ time—that’s what my baby told me
If you can’t groove me, boy, you might as well let me be
The lyrics GROOVIN' TIME of OTIS REDDING is also present in the album Love man (1969)
Otis Ray Redding Jr. (1941-1967) è stato un cantante statunitense di soul, considerato uno dei più influenti artisti del genere. Nato a Dawson, Georgia, Redding iniziò la sua carriera musicale suonando in chiese e locali notturni del sud degli Stati Uniti. Nel 1962 firmò con la Stax Records, dove ottenne il successo con brani come "Respect" (cover di Aretha Franklin) e "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fine". Il suo stile vocale potente e emotivo, caratterizzato da un'ampia gamma e una straordinaria capacità di interpretazione, lo rese uno dei cantanti soul più amati. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Try a Little Tenderness" e il postumo successo mondiale "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay". La sua tragica morte in un incidente aereo nel 1967, all'età di soli 26 anni, segnò la fine di una carriera promettente e lasciò un vuoto nel panorama musicale. Redding è ricordato come un artista geniale e innovativo che ha contribuito a definire lo stile del soul moderno.
