Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering

She says she don't want the young boy
The young boy drink too much white rum
She says she don't want the soul man
'Cause soul man fall asleep in bed
She says she don't want the dread lock
'Cause dread lock smoke too much Haile

Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering, oh yeah

When you check it out the young boy is undecided
When you check it out the young boy is undecided
And the dread lock is getting natty groove
While the old man is watching them move
And the soul boy start to prove

Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering, oh yeah

Oh, young girl want soldering
Yeah, young girl want soldering
Oh, young girl want soldering
Oh, young girl want soldering

She says she don't want the dread lock
'Cause dread lock smoke too much Haile
She says she don't want the soul man
'Cause soul man fall asleep in bed
She says she don't want the young boy
The young boy drink too much white rum

Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering, oh yeah

Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering, oh yeah

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
