[Intro: DeVante Swing]
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you

[Verse 1: K-Ci]
Every time I close my eyes
I wake up feelin' so horny
I can't get you outta my mind
'Cause sexin' you be all I see
I would give anything
Just to make you understand me
I don't give a damn about nothing else
Freek'n you is all I need

[Pre-Chorus: Jodeci]
Tonight, I need your body
Tonight, you got my time
Tonight you won't be sorry
Tonight, you got my mind

[Chorus: DeVante Swing & K-Ci]
I wanna freek you
(Oh, tell me)
I wanna freek you
(What must I do)
I wanna freek you
(Oh)
I wanna freek you
(I think about freek'n you, baby)
I wanna freek you
(Tell me)
I wanna freek you
(Yeah)
I wanna freek you
(Oh)
I wanna freek you

[Verse 2: JoJo]
I could go on for days
But I couldn't go on for weeks
I can even play with another body
But it wouldn't last 'cause I'm a freek
I hear everything you say
Turned on by everything you do
And at night when I close my eyes
I only dream of freek'n you

[Pre-Chorus: Jodeci]
Tonight, I need your body
Tonight, you got my time
Tonight, you won't be sorry
Tonight you got my mind

[Chorus: DeVante Swing & JoJo]
I wanna freek you
(Oh)
I wanna freek you
(What must I do)
I wanna freek you
(I think about freek'n you)
I wanna freek you
(I think about freek'n you)
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you
I wanna freek you

[Bridge: DeVante Swing & K-Ci]
Get down, and freek me up and down
DeVante Swing
Get down, and freek me up and down
Oh, oh, oh
Get down, and freek me up and down
Ooh oh oh oh oh
Get down, and freek me up and down
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

[Outro: K-Ci & JoJo]
Every freek'n night and every freek'n day
I wanna freek you baby in every freek'n way
Every freek'n day, every freek'n night
I wanna freek you, girl
Your body's so freek'n tight
Every freek'n night and every freek'n day
I wanna freek you, baby, in every freek'n way
Every freek'n day, every freek'n night
I wanna freek you, girl
Your body's so freek'n tight

Started in 1983, Jodeci is comprised of two sets of brothers—Cedric and Joel Hailey (also known as K-Ci and JoJo) and Donald and Dalvin Degrate (also known as DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin). Jodeci were once known as the “bad boys of R&B,” notable particularly because they were actually boys at the time, breaking out as teenagers in 1991 with their debut album and its title ballad, “Forever My Lady.” Natives of North Carolina, they were discovered by Heavy D, who overheard their demo when an A&R at Uptown was in the process of passing on them. Heavy D introduced Jodeci to Uptown founder Andre Harrell, who signed them after they sang in his office, and handed them off to his then-protégé Puff Daddy, who outfitted the group in dark shades and coordinating leather ensembles. The look, along with the streetwise soul found in songs like “Cry 4 U” and “Feenin” (as well as a few run-ins with the law) made them the antithesis to good-guy personas of then-peaking R&B superstars Boyz II Men. Devante, who along with Mr. Dalvin held down production duties for the group, founded the Swing Mob, a collective responsible for the discovery of musical geniuses like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Static Major. As a group, Jodeci would go on to release three critically-acclaimed album in the ‘90s, before disappearing from the limelight. K-Ci and JoJo splintered off as a duo in 1997, producing hit single “All My Life” and, eventually, five albums, but adoring fans never let go of their Jodeci obsession. In March, the group released The Past, The Present, The Future, the first Jodeci album in two decades. Jodeci, if y'all reading this, where’d you go?
