Peabo Bryson

Songwriter: Peabo Bryson

Oh, whoa, my, my, baby
Well, well, well

Oh, when you're touchin' me
Where you've been touchin' me
Sure gives me a feelin', yeah
Oh, I guess it's just a little too much for me
Rockin' and reelin', well

Give yourself some time to know
Which way you want to go
I've had my share of your hopes and pain
Hurting don't prove a thing
Just let me get my feet back on the ground
I wanna be around
If you should find what love is all about
I'll be there to check it out
I've been down so long, oh, baby
(I've been down, I've been down)
(I've been down so long)
Give me the strength I need to carry on
(I need the strength to carry on)

Touchin' me, touchin' me
Where you've been touchin' me, baby
Oh, my baby, girl, oh-whoa-whoa...

Gotta say it again
Touchin' me where you've been touchin' me
Gives me the feelin', well
Guess it's just a little bit
Little bit too much for me
All of this rockin' and reelin'
Sure lives rockin' and reelin', well

Give yourself some time to know
Which way you want to go
I've have my share of your hopes and pain
And hurting don't prove a thing
Just let me get my feet back on the ground
I wanna be around
If you should find what love is all about
I'll be there to check it out
I've been down so long, oh, baby
(I've been down, I've been down)
(I've been down so long)
Give me the strength I need to carry on
(I need the strength to carry on)

Whoa, whoa, my baby
Whoa, whoa-whoa...

Oh, rockin' and reelin', yeah
(I've been down so long)
Well, well, well
Sure lives, sure lives rockin' and reelin'
(I've been down so long)
Well, well, well, well
Yeah, yeah

Come on, come on and rock me, baby
(I've been down so long)
Hey-hey
Sure, sure gives me the feelin'
(I've been down so long)
Oh, I got it, you got the feelin'
(I've been down so long)
I've been down, I've been down
I've been down so long
(I've been down so long)
Down so long
