Time to get down


Yeah, yeah, yeah, mm hmm
Yeah, mm hmm, 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
We've got a very serious problem
Yeah, yeah

Come on, baby
It's time to get down
It's time for you to help me
With my feelings, girl
Come on, girl, get on down
Ir's time to get down, down, yeah

Oh, if there's anything else
You make up your mind right away
And it seems like to me
You're trying your best, pretty lady

Can't you see I want to love you
Long as you want it, baby
Long as you need it, baby
Oh, baby, baby

Believe me when I tell you
Every word I say is true
'Cause, honey, I adore you
(Adore you, adore you)

All this time we've been wasting
Baby, is only a game for fools
Yeah

Come on, baby
It's time to get down, down
It's time for you to stop trying
To be so cool now, mama
Come on, girl, it's time
To get down, down, yeah

Oh, if you would only stop
Stop all that stumbling
That you're doing and come on
Come on in, give me all
The things I need

Can't you see I wanna love you
Long as you want it, baby
Long as you need it, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby

It's time to get down, little girl
Come on, it's time
To get down, yeah

It's time for you to stop
Playing with my feelings, girl
It's time to get down, yeah

Ooooh, oh, baby
It's time to get down
Long as you want it, baby
Long as you need it, girl

Get on down now, girl
Ooh, hooo, yeah, yeah
It's time to get down
It's time to for you to
Put your arms around me
God bless the day you found me

Get on down
Come on, girl

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The O'Jays are an American R and B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in summer 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert, Walter Lee Williams, William Powell, Bobby Massey, and Bill Isles. The O'Jays made their first chart appearance with the minor hit "Lonely Drifter" in 1963, but reached their greatest level of success once the producers Gamble and Huff signed them to their Philadelphia International label in 1971. With Gamble and Huff, the O'Jays emerged at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with "Back Stabbers" (1972), and topped the US Billboard Hot 100 the following year with "Love Train". Several other US R and B hits followed, and the O'Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2013.
