MIGHTY LOVE

MIGHTY MIGHTY MIGHTY MIGHTY LOVE

that grabs me

cant stand no man to be callin me BABEE

to my face/

but if i hear some stylistics du-wah/

donchu know i wanna give it away

BABEEEEEEEEE YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO BRAND NEW

feel brand new

& there’s another strut i cant do widout

satiné suits & lamé cuffs

volcano blue crepe shirts & heavy chests

like muhammad ali gone & learned

to charm a lady

sweep a child to womanhood from the stage

make mama scream

& she don’t know that man’s name

the audacity of the blues

rock me daddy

roll me    daddy

rock n roll me at the bijou

From nappy edges
