Ultimate Collection lyrics

Hey, baby (Oh, yeah)
Let me take you to Xanadu (Where is that?)
Behind the groove (Well, alright)
Hoo...
(Behind the groove)
There's another side inside of you
(Behind the groove)
You can make your wildest dreams come true

So get on up (Behind the groove)
And shake your body (Get behind the groove)
Open up and take the music in (Get behind the groove)

People say I've got my hands in too many things
Keeping time with paupers just as well as kings
I toss my hat up to the silver sky
And then I sigh
Look at all the blessings in my life
Here I am your Piscean holocaust
Born in Venice Harlem with some sweet and sour sauce
I close my eyes and still somehow I feel
You're here with me
And you are such a blessing in my life

Hey, baby, how you doin'
Wow, huh, it's really been a long time
You know
Remember that night
You remember

On a starry winter night in Portugal
Where the ocean kissed the southern shore
There a dream I never thought would come to pass
Came and went like time spent through and hourglass

You made love to me like fire and rain
Ooh, you know you've got to be a hurricane

Ooh

Love's fever comin' on strong
I don't want the fire without the flame, no
Mother Nature gave me two hands to hold you
I'm not talkin' pressure or material gains
M-O-N-E-Y never did a thing for L-O-V-I-N
I'll never understand what peoples heads are in, oh
Ask me what I need

I need your lovin'
And that's the bottom line
I need your lovin'
Just a little time

I need your lovin'

Hee...
Everybody get up

Flash back, who's that dancin' to the latest
Suave de bone, the greatest, ooh, he sure is moving me
That's what I said though you didn't know yet
Our love is was kismet, soon to be made history

So don't you have no doubt, I'm gonna spell it out
I'll hip you to the Tee that is
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast

Early morning whispers to me
I was taken unaware
I remember sunlight creepin'
In the window over there
The day had promised true love
Smiles awaken as we rise
Our golden slumbers long gone
Only you got in my eyes
And now I'll never be the same
'Cause you made me over

If I were a bell, baby, I would ring
Tell the whole world that you are my everything

Hee...

Sugar pop
Funky pops

Coffee, tea or me, baby, touche ole
My opening line might be a bit passe
But don't think that I don't know what I'm feeling for you
'Cause I got a vibe on you the first time that I saw you, saw you

I need your love and I won't bring no pain
A little birdie told me that you feel the same
I'm for the real and for you I'm true blue

(feat. Rick James)

[RJ (Spoken):]
Wow. It's really good to see you again, baby.
And I must admit you're looking very, very, very nice these days.
I guess life must be treating you well.
Oh me?
Well, I've just been doing the same ol' thing I've always been doing, you know.
I've got a new lady now and it's a little different than it was when I was with you.

Come inside from the rain
Let me make love to you until the drops dry on the windowpane
Heart to heart you took my soul
And now my feelings must be revealed
And our love we must unfold
Like all the ladies loved you My Dear Mr. Gaye
All the ladies loved you My Dear Mr. Gaye

Trouble man now you're home
Let me hear you whisper softly
Secret words to me alone

(feat. Rick James)

I'm just a
(Well, alright you freaks, give it)
I'm just a (For Lady T) sucker
I'm just a
I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for love
(I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love, sucker for love, baby)
I'm just a sucker for your love, sucker for love
(I'm just a sucker for love, sucker for love, sucker for your love, baby)

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Yeah, yeah

I remember back in school
When I first laid my eyes on you
I saw your smile and knew right then and there
You reached out and touched my hand
And two became just one person
And no one could have stopped our love affair

But lately we can't even see each other, no
Without acting just like distant lovers
We've even took to fighting under covers

Am I dreaming, are you real
Can this be heaven that I feel
Raindrops falling down
Make the sweetest sound... sweetest sound
Now that I have you
Greet the morning with a smile
Feelings within me running wild
Gray clouds in the sky
My love cannot hide
Now I have you in my life

I'm feeling things I never felt before
Now that I have you
And nothing seems to matter anymore

Give me a kiss and I'll savor this night
Just as the wind breathes its breath to my life
You have awakened a part of my soul
A pleasantry
Here in my dreams
And so I am lost in the shadows on the wall
And this Latin Lullaby is all I have to remind me...
Oh so many stars
But no not half as bright as you
And a warm mandolin wind
Plays next of kin
Like a lover
Like a Latin Lullaby

Hee...
[You are under my power]
[It is the power of love]

Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
You say my kisses taste like magic, well, stop
That's got to be the classic line
Please no more presto change-o now that I'm in love, baby
'Cause that would really blow my mind

I'd pull a rabbit out of my hat

It's not the way that you comb your hair to the left side, sugar
It's not the way that you keep the beat
On or off your feet
No mention when we get real close
How my body gets weak-And I'm about to smoke
Do-wa, do-wa, do-wa

All these things that I feel
If you'd only come real
At this moment in time
Right here, right now, you'd be mine

Work it, Work it Baby, Baby can you work
