There I go, there I go
There I go, there I go
Pretty baby, you are the soul
Who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
There's music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave
Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything, baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
How I worry 'bout you, just can't live my life without you
Baby, come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again
Oh baby, won't you come and put our two hearts together?
That would make me strong and brave
Ooh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us, go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh, my baby, won't you please let me love you
And give me relief from this awful misery?
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Don't you understand me?
Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet
Oh, baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come, let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so tired of being without
And never knowing what love's about
James Moody, you can come on in man
And you can blow now if you want to
We're through
