Whoo-hoo...
Tell you what a love can do

Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-doo-doo
Yeah, yeah

Late at night I'm in my room
I can feel your body, oh, and your perfume
It fills the air with sweet smelling promises
Of loving, loving, oh...

I hold my pillow tight
I try to make it through the night
If I can't be with you
I wanna dream about you, baby, yeah

This is what a love can do
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-you
The possibilities are endless
This is what a love can do
It can do it to you
The possibilities are endless

When I think about you, I can't help but see
Somebody who's just right for me
I know, I know that you're feeling the same way too
The way I feel about you

I hold my pillow tight
I try to make it through the night
If I can't be with you
I wanna dream about you, baby, yeah

This is what a love can do
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-you, yeah
The possibilities are endless
This is what a love can do
It can do it to you
The possibilities are endless, yeah

All my life
I've been holding back
The love inside my heart
I didn't know where to start
Feel so lost
And it feels so good
Just let my feelings show
I want everyone to know, yeah, yeah

I hold my pillow tight
I try to make it through the night
If I can't be with you
I wanna dream about you, baby, yeah

This is what a love can do
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-you
The possibilities are endless
This is what a love can do
It can do it to you
The possibilities are endless, yeah

This is what a love can do
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-you, yeah
The possibilities are endless, endless
This is what a love can do
It can do it to you
The possibilities are endless, yeah...

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
