The Pointer Sisters - Greatest Hits [compilation] (1999) by The Pointer Sisters (보컬) on maniadb.com

Look what you're doing to me
I'm utterly at your whim
All of my defenses down
Your camera looks through me
With its X-ray vision
And all systems run aground
All I can manage to push from my lips
Is a stream of absurdities
Every word I intended to speak
Wind up locked in the circuitry

Chorus:
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down down down
Automatic
Automatic

What is this madness
That makes my motor run
And my legs too weak to stand
I go from sadness
To exhilaration
Like a robot at your command
My hands perspire and shake like a leaf
Up and down goes my temperature
I summon doctors to get some relief
But they tell me there is no cure
They tell me

Chorus

I don't want to take it anymore
I'll just stay here locked behind the door
Just no time to stop and get away
'Cause I work so hard to make it everyday

Whoo oooh
Whoo oooh

There's no money falling from the sky
'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind
Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet
And the rent is due, I got no place to stay

Whoo oooh
Whoo oooh

(Chorus:)
And it's hard to say
Just how some things never change
And it's hard to find
Any strength to draw the line
I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance

Industry don't pay a price that's fair
All the common people breathing filthy air
Roof caved in on all the simple dreams
And to get ahead your heart starts pumping schemes

Chorus
Whoo oooh
Whoo oooh
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Chorus
I know there's a pot of gold for me
All I got to do is just believe
I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance
And I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance
I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance

Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night

I want to love you, feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow, I'll let it go

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you

We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last a long, long time
We'll have a good time, baby, don't you worry
And if we're still playin' around, boy, that's just fine

Let's get excited, we just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you!

As the midnight moon was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes looking into mine
Seeing what you wanted to see
Darlin' don't say a word 'cos I already heard
What your body's saying to mine
I'm tired of fast moves, I've got a slow groove
On my mind

I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love I want a slow hand

On shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
We are drifting free, like two lost leaves
On the crazy wind of the night
Darlin' don't say a word 'cos I already heard
What your body's saying to mine
If I want it all night, you say it's alright
We got the time

'Cos I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I've found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I've found somebody who will understand
When it comes to love I want a slow hand

If I want it all night, please say it's alright
It's not a fast move but a slow groove
On my mind

'Cos I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I've found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I've found somebody who will understand
I've found a lover with a slow hand

Lover with a slow hand
And I get all excited with his easy touch
I've found somebody who will spend the night
Not come and go in a heated rush

Your eyes tell me how you love me
Can feel it in your heart beat
I know you like what you see
Hold me, I'll give that you need
Wrap your love around me
You're so excited, I can feel you
Getting hotter, oh baby
I'll take you down, I'll take you down
Where no one's ever gone before
And if you want more, if you want more
More, more, more

Jump for my love
Jump in and feel my touch
Jump you want to taste my kisses
In the night then

Jump, jump for my love
Jump, I know my heart can make you happy
Jump in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

You told me, I'm the only woman for you
Nobody does you like I do
Then make a move before you try and
Go much farther, oh baby
You're the one, you, you are the one
And heaven waits here at my door
And if you want more,
If you want more, more, more then
When you are next to me, oh I come alive

Your love burns inside
Feels so right
Come to me if you want me tonight jump
Jump if you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump, jump
Jump, you know my heart can
Make you happy
Jump, you know these arms can feel you up
Jump in, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

I've got a chip on my shoulder with you name on it - knock it off.
So don't just stand there foolin' if you don't want it - knock it off.
I say you're either a lover or you are a liar.
So don't you push too hard, you're playin' with fire.

Baby, make your move, step across the line,
Touch me one more time, come on, dare me!
I want to take you on, I know I can't lose,
I'll be loving you if you just dare me.

Looks like you're lookin' for trouble,
And I'd say you found it - you found it.
You'll have to come right through me,
There's no way around it - you found it.
I hope that lean hungry look means what it's saying.
'Cause I'm just sittin' on ready, ready and waiting.
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...

Come on and dare me.
If there's any truth behind your intentions
This night's gonna end up on fire - you better believe it.
You better believe it, oh baby. Oh, dare me, dare me, dare me.
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...

I swore when he hurt me so, I wouldn't see him anymore,
But today he called my name - oh, I could feel the same old flame.

Should I do it, should I fall? Should I do it after all oh?
Is it crazy, is it right? I really wanna love him tonight.
Should I do it, should I play? Can I help it anyway?
When I feel him hold me tight, I'm gonna turn on like a light.

I know when we're in his car, I couldn't go just so far.
I wanna give him everything
So, when I hear the telephone ring, yeah:

Should I do it, should I fall?...
Oh, I'm so lonely and he's so fine,
Maybe I should swallow my pride
Just one, one, one more time, yeah.

Baby, I've got to know: Should I do it, should I fall?...

Something's wrong
Things aren't right
And it turns into a silly fight
You walk out
I get mad
And we both just end up feeling bad

Through the heat
Of the fire
And the trouble that we're going through
There's no harm
There's no danger
Because our love is really tried and true

And I want you here beside me
I need you
'Cause nobody's going to love me
The way that you do
Baby won't you come and hold me
Hold me in your arms
Didn't tell you that I need you

I need you
By my side
And although we're going to
Fight sometimes
I need you
By my side
Please don't walk away and we'll be fine


Through the heat
Of the fire
And the trouble that we're going through
There's no harm
There's no danger
Because our love is really tried and true

You know I need you
You know I won't you
I got to have you
By my side

Well the rock still rolls
The beat goes on
After all of this time
The faces change but the song's the same
So roll over Mister Dylan for the next in line

The want American music
For drivin with the radio
She said I know that I would be alright
If I could just make somebody my baby tonight
American music
For dancin with the stereo
Oh do what you like
Feel what you feel
The music is right
Well it almost feels real American
From the purple peaks to the city streets
People searching for the rock and roll scene
The power of the pounding beat
The magic in the dream

They want American music
For trav'lin with the radio
She said I know that I would be alright
If I could just make somebody my baby tonight
American music
For dancin with the stereo
Oh do what you like
Feel what you feel
The music is right
Well it almost feels real American

Just when you think that you've heard enough
Well somebody say turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up

Baby, come
Baby, come
Come and get it

You call me up at 2 in the morning
Honey, ya' burnin' up the telephone wire
You say you can't wait till tomorrow
And that you need me to put out your fire, ooh, hoo, hoo

I say, "Now, now, now, now sweet darlin'
You sure want a lot for your dime"
Then you talk so, so sweet and dirty
You drive me right out of my mind

I want to tell you, "No"
But there I go again sayin'

Baby, come and get it
Baby, come and get it
Come and get it while it's hot (Ha, ha, ha)

Baby, come and get it
Baby, come and get it
You always get the best I got

I swear that every time is the last time
'Cause I know there ain't no future in this
And then from the heart of the darkness
Comes that call that I can never resist, ooh, hoo, hoo

I say now, now, now, now sweet darlin'
Why can't you leave me some pride
Then you whisper, "'Cause baby, I need you"
And I go all to pieces inside

I want to tell you, "No"
But there I go again sayin'

Baby, come and get it
Baby, come and get it
Come and get it while it's hot (Ha, ha, ha, ha)

Baby, come and get it
Baby, come and get it
You always get the best I got

Come and get it
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Come and get it

Baby, come and get it
Baby, come and get it

I say now, now, now, now sweet darlin'
Why can't you leave me some pride
Then you whisper, "'Cause baby, I need you"
And it tears me all to pieces inside

I want to tell you, "No"
But there I go again sayin'

Baby, come and get it
Baby, come and get it
Come and get it while it's hot (Ha, ha, ha)

Baby, come and get it
Baby, come and get it
You always get the best I got (Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)

Come and get it
You drive me out of my mind

Come and get it

I'll leave the front light on to let you know I'm home
Baby, come
Baby, come

Flowers arrive
Who else whould think of that but my guy
He's all heart and all mine
Ooh, and I don't have to be Miss Perfect One
For him to love what he sees
I can feel it in the little things he does
What I found he's every woman's dream

My baby he's a goldmine
Ooh, what he does just keeps my heart in love
My baby he's a goldmine
Ooh, all he does just keeps me here in love

Five times a day
He calls me up to say, "How ya doin' babe"
He's just that way
Leaves me little notes by my coffee cup
The sweetest poetry to me
Ooh and every night he tells me with his touch
The way he moves just makes me want to scream

His eyer were fire, my heart was cold
My arms were ready for new love to hold
He makes me feel something that I've never known
When you find someone like him, you don't let go

Girl's got a goldmine and he's so fine
Girl's got a goldmine and he's all mine
Baby's got a goldmine, treats me so kind
Loves me rain or shine
My baby's divine

I can feel the little things that he does
What I found is every woman's dream

I'm ridin' in your car, you turn on the radio
You're pullin' me close, I just say no
I say I don't like it, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

Late at night, you're takin' me home
You say you want to stay, I say I want to be alone
I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

BRIDGE
You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool
Well, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool...

Well, Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet a love they couldn't deny
My words say split, but my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

LEAD BREAK
Ooh fire...
Kisses like fire...
Burn me up with fire
I like what you're doin now, fire
Touchin me, fire
Touchin me, burnin me, fire
Take me home
