There's a reason for the life that you live
And there's a pleasin' that I know you can give
And I've been cravin' the love you've been savin'
So baby won't you give it to me
You're tellin' me: No, no, no
You don't want to let your love go
I'm tellin' you: Yes, yes, yes
You really oughta be gettin' some happiness
I made a motion and it's out on the floor
And it's a notion that I'd love to explore
'Cause I been tastin' the love you been wastin'
So baby won't you give it to me
You're tellin' me: No, no, no
You don't want to let your love go
I'm tellin' you: Yes, yes, yes
You really oughta be gettin' some happiness
You're a lady
And I'm here in the palm of your hand
Such a lady
How much more do you think I can stand?
