[Verse 1]
Are you the kind to put your heart on the line?
Or one who stays out of reach?
Cause unlike other guys I won't waste your time
I just wanna practice what I preach
Girl, love can be such a challenge
A game where there can be two winners
Unlike any sport
It depends on the prize
And knowing where the real thing lies
To make a long story short

[Chorus]
Baby, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
Let me lay this good love on ya
Baby, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
You can say I really want you
(Oh, it's so good)

[Verse 2]
There's guys that offer you diamonds and pearls
Those are the ones without the need
Other guys say that they can give you the world
But a world of love is what you'll get from me
Girl, those material things
Meant more to me before the day I found you
Now I truly believe
All the money in the world
Can't comfort you the way I wrap my arms around you
And I'll always be there

[Chorus]
Baby, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
Let me lay this good love on you (Whoa whoa)
Baby, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
You can say I really want you

Let me make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)

[Bridge]
Oh, it's good, (oh, baby)
Oh, so good
Let me lay it on you, baby
Oh, so good
Let me make you feel good
I can make you feel good
Let me make you feel good
I can make you feel good

[Verse 3]

Are you the kind to put your heart on the line?
Or one who stays out of reach?
Cause unlike other guys I won't waste your time
I just wanna practice what I preach
Cause love can be such a challenge
A game where there can be two winners
Unlike any sport
It depends on the prize
And knowing where the real thing lies
To make a long story short

[Chorus]
Baby, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
So forget about what he did wrong
Baby, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
With a love that is, oh, so strong
I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
Won't you let me make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
Baby, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)
Let me lay this good love on you
Oh, oh, I can make you feel good (I can make you feel good)

Shalamar

Shalamar is an American R&B and soul music vocal group, active in the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s. Their original lineup consisted of Jeffrey Daniel, Jody Watley, and Gary Mumford. The group went through various lineup changes throughout the years, with Mumford replaced by Gerald Brown, and again by Howard Hewett. The lineup of Daniel, Hewett, and Watley was the most successful, selling two Platinum albums (Three For Love, Friends) and one Gold album (Big Fun).

Despite more lineup changes in the ‘80s, the group still churned out hits such as “Dancing in the Sheets” and “Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills”, which won them a Grammy.

Daniel, Hewett, and Watley eventually reunited several times in the ‘90s and as recently as 2015, playing in the UK where they’ve had the most success.
