Every man wants a woman,
Where him and her can just go hang.
Just the two of them along, kick back,
Doing their own thing.
And every man wants a woman,
That can always keep him in the mood.
And I'm that kind of girl,
So this is what I tell my dude.


I tell him to kick off your shoes and relax your feet,
Party on down to the Xscape beat.
Just kick it.
Just kick it, just kick it.



Every man wants a woman,
That can cook him up a good meal.
A woman he can treat like his homie,
And take her out on the Ave. and just chill.
Every man wants a woman,
That ain't good for just laying on her back.
[LaTocha]:And I'm that kind of woman,
[Kandi]:So before me and my man get in the sack...

You gotta keep it pumpin'. [x4]


I went out looking for a good place,
But everywhere I went was dull.
I went here, and I went there,
But I never found the stuff.
But then I met this boy that said
He had the perfect place,
That I would just love, yeah.
He took me in,
Ooh, let me tell you girlfriend,
The place was jumping,
And it was sho 'nuff pumpin'.




I found my spot,
Nothing about the place seemed dull.
And the stuff I was looking for,
I found the stuff.
The sound was hot, like I never heard before,
The bass was booming,
There were people all over the dance floor.
Then I met another guy,
And he asked me would I like to dance,
He showed me steps I never seen before.
I walked in,
Ooh, let me tell you girlfriend,
The place was jumping,
And it was sho 'nuff pumpin'.



That's the way I like it,
I like it when it's pumpin'.



If you got a groove that you like and you like it a lot,
Pump it up, pump it up.
You know the place with the bass,
In the neighbourhood hot spot,
Pump it up, pump it up.
To the girl in the blue,
Tell me what 'cha gonna do,
Pump it up, pump it up.
And to the negro in red tell me what I said,
Pump it up, pump it up.

I got something for you,
And I think you're sexy,
And if you want me let me know.
You ain't gotta spend no money,
Just a little time with me honey,
That will let me know you love me so.



There are so many things,
That I want to talk to you about.
Like do you want me, do you love me,
'Cause I have my doubts.

I have a funny feeling,
That you want me around for just one thing,
To push your little ego,
With the knowledge that I bring.





You know that I want you,
And I made it very clear.
I would never ever hurt you,
I'd never let you shed a tear.

The only thing I want to know,
Do you feel the love for me.
I'm not gonna keep on waiting,
That's not how it's gonna be,
You got to...


Let me know,
I never knew that love could ever have me slipping.
Let me know,
I sit in my room thinking of you at night trippin'.
Let me know,
I never knew I would ever get caught caking.
Let me know,
And no man would ever have me shaky.

What I need from you is understanding,
How can we communicate,
If you don't hear what I say.
What I need from you is understanding,
So simple as 1-2-3,
Understanding is what we need.


You don't really know me,
You just wanna do what you wanna do.
That's not the way it should be,
No, you should listen to me boy.
I try so very hard to make you understand,
But the choices you make, baby they're all demands.



I try so very hard to keep our love alive,
But you don't wanna meet me half way,
Then the understanding dies.

There's no way that we can work it out,
If we don't pull together.
I don't mean to be demanding,
But I want some understanding,
I want to be with you.




I listen to you baby,
And I know the things you're going through.
I try to understand,
That's why I'm still here with you, baby.
See everyday we're living,
Is one thing that will always be unsure.
That's why I need you baby, pleading baby,
Please let our love endure.

I wanna spend my whole life with you,
There's nothing else better than being with you.
I wanna spend my whole life, my whole life with you.


Do you remember all those precious times,
We shared back in the past.
No one knew about the things we did,
Out in the grass.
We're older now,
And we both need companionship.
So let's stop these games,
And get on with our relationship.


Ain't no second guessin' about
The way I feel when I'm with you,
It makes me feel so real.
Ain't no living without you,
'Cause you're all the man I need,
And I want you just for me.




Why is it when I say I love you,
You shy away from me,
When lovin's all I wanna do?
Even though we've never been,
More than just friends,
There's no reason
We should have to let our feelings end.

Is my living in vain?
Is my giving in vain?
Is my singing in vain?
Is my praying in vain?

No, of course not.


It's not all in vain,
Because up the road is eternal gain.


Am I wasting my time?
Can the clock be rewind?
Have I let my light shine?
Have I made 99?


No, of course not.

Come a little bit closer and look into my eyes,
If only for a moment, boy don't be surprised.
I want you right here next to me,
So tell me we can spend some time.
So I can hold you softly,
In these gentle arms of mine.
And the moonlight's gazing,ooh,
Shining on my window pane,
Beaming down on the midnight hour,
I hear the sound of rain.


Tonight, tonight, ooh...
Tonight, tonight, ooh...


So why don't you stay awhile,
I can't help it if you put me in a daze boy.
But you look so good to me,
In your satin PJs.
So let's make love by candlelight,
And listen to the quiet storm.
As I kiss you in the places,
That make your body warm.




I'm holding you

Holding you tight all through the night

Looks like it's gonna rain

Holding you tight all through the night

Tonight.
