Keith Sweat

Seen you last night, say you standin' there
Couldn't picture the color of your hair
All I wanted to know were you really there
I wanna know was it my imagination
Ooh, you k now it was a sweet sensation
Lookin' at you from a distance
Ooh, it seems so real

You and I together
Dream that seemed for real
If it's a dream, please don't wake me up
It feels so real all I know is

I want her (I want that baby)
I want her (Get it, get it, get it, get it)
I want her (I wanna do it like this, do it like that)
I want her (Once I get it ain't no turnin' back)

You turn me on and on
The feelin', girl, is so strong
My heart, girl, is on fire
Ooh, you're my desire

I've got a thing for you
Dreams of you and me, baby
She's bad, she's bad, she's bad
All I know is

I want her (I want, I want, I want, I want, I want her)
I want her (Don't misunderstand me)
I want her (I wish this dream was for real)
I want her (You, you know the deal)

I want her (Yeah, yeah...)
I want her (I want that girl so bad)
I want her (I had a dream of her last night)
I want her (Yeah, yeah, yeah, ugh)

Oh
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yep-yep
Ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah
And I, ugh
I
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, ooh, baby
All night long, girl

I want her (Ooh, baby)
I want her (I want that girl so bad)
I want her (All night long)
I want her (Let me, let me tell you somethin', I wanna do it like this, baby)

I want her (I wanna do it like that, sugar)
I want her (You know I need, girl, you know what I like, girl, like this, baby)
I want her (I wanna do it like that, sugar)
I want her (You turn me on and on and on and on)

I want her (I wanna do it like this, baby, I wanna do it like that, sugar)
I want her (You know what I mean, girl, you know like, girl)
I want her (I wanna do it like this, baby, I wanna do it like that, sugar)
I want her (Oh, I want you so bad, girl)

I want her (Oh, I want you so bad, girl, I need you right now, baby)
I want her (Give it to me, give it to me all night long, girl)
I want her (I just want you so bad)
I want her (I just want you so bad, come on, girl, come on, girl)

I want her (She's so bad)
I want her (Hey, baby)
I want her (Don't let this be a dream, girl) [Just think about tonight, baby]
I want her (I want you so bad, ooh, baby)

I want her (Give it to me tonight, girl, love me, love me)
I want her (Love me, love me, love me, love me down, ooh, baby)
I want her

I want her (The feelin', girl, is so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so strong)
(I want you so bad, baby)
(Was it, was it a dream last night, girl)
(Was it, was it a dream last night, baby)

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.
