Inky dinky wang dang doo
Hoo hoo baby baby i love you
Inky dinky ding dang doo
Oh girl i got my eyes on you
Inky dinky sing sang soo
I want to kiss the girl yes
Inky dinky ding dang doo

Baby please don't give me the steel no

(how many times did I tell you)

You know I need to kiss your lips
See your face
Feel your warm embrace

Stinky stanky sing dang oww
Say Darling I got to have your lovin right now
Stinky stanky sing dang oww
You know you're gonna get yourself hurt
Stinky stanky sing dang oww
Can't hit it baby here I come
Inky Dinky Bing bang bow
Now get up lil chile and come

(how many times did I tell you)
That I love you
(how many ways can I say)
You know you need to push yourself
In my love
My love will knock you out of this world
Out of this world

[Instrumental]

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.
