Commodores

Hey Lucy why don't you come and settle down
I hear you're the baddest girl this side of town
Got a little money that I wanna spend
If you'll be my friend
For just a little while

First summer you sailed on down to New Orleans
I was a victor, you were a Cajun queen
You had many fellas with lots of style
And you drove them wild
Oh little Lucy I had to be with you

Traveled around the country
Oh and I made my way
I never once forgot what I felt that day
Now I think I'm ready to play my hand
I wanna be your man which is hard to do
Oh Lucy I'm so in love with you

I've been a wandering man for such a long time
Now I know just where I'm going
Oh how I need you to stand by my side
Don't you go away
Cause I'm so in love with you

I've been searchin' for you Lucy for such a long time
Now I wanna let you know what I have on my mind
You've been around a lonely man
A lonely man
I've been a lonely man
Lucy
I don't want to live my life without you
There were times when I tried to get you off my mind girl
You're the girl of my dreams
Oh you're the girl of my dreams
Lucy
(Ahh my Lucy)
So many lonely nights I need you girl
(Ahh my Lucy)

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
