I see that guy that you're standing near
I know you think that he's fine
He gets you hot with his dancing gear
But you ain't had none of mine

Oh I like the way you move
I'd like to feel your groove
He'll never do you like me
I got the stuff you need

Oh, danse pour ton amour
I'm dancing for your love

Je danse pour ton amour
Dancing for your love tonight

I saw you looking like you wanted some
And you were looking at me
If you want to party and have some fun
(Then) I'm the guy you should see

I, I got the stuff to soothe
I like the way you move
You got the power to be
Everything that I need

Rufus is an American band, known for being the launching pad for their lead vocalist-turned-soul superstar Chaka Khan.

The band originally named “Ask Rufus” shortened their name by the time they made their rootsy, soulful, debut album Rufus in 1973. Their cover of “Maybe Your Baby” on that album attracted the attention of its writer Stevie Wonder.

Wonder in turn wrote an original tune for their next album Rags To Rufus (1974) that would put the band on the map. “Tell Me Something Good” was a smash and earned the band their first Grammy.
