[Verse 1]
Satisfaction
That means
Different strokes for different folks
Oh yeah
Now to the man who who's scaled the mountain high
Feel a [?] in the sky
Satisfy
[Chorus]
Oh, but having a baby with me, baby
Is satisfaction enough for me
Oh, and holding him tightly by me, mightily
That's satisfaction enough for me
[Post Chorus]
Ohhh, satisfaction
Oh yeah
Life is so
To each his own
[Verse 2]
Well now your satisfaction now
May be
Anything from A to Z
Your mind is free
Uh huh
[Chorus]
Oh, but having a baby with me, baby
Is satisfaction enough for me
Oh, and holding him tightly by me, mightily
That's satisfaction enough for me
[Bridge]
Oh and satisfaction
Can't be classified
Oh ho
It all depends on
What you feel inside
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
Ohhh, how can I satisfy
All of my baby's dreams?
And keep her from seekin'
Some other means
Of excitement
And relaxation?
I want to be
What she needs
In every phase of life
And every situation
[Chorus]
Oh, but having a baby with me, baby
Is satisfaction enough for me
Oh, and holding him tightly by me, mightily
That's satisfaction enough for me
Oh, but having a baby with me, baby
Is satisfaction enough for me
Oh, and holding him tightly by me, mightily
That's satisfaction enough for me
Satisfaction
That means
Different strokes for different folks
Oh yeah
Now to the man who who's scaled the mountain high
Feel a [?] in the sky
Satisfy
[Chorus]
Oh, but having a baby with me, baby
Is satisfaction enough for me
Oh, and holding him tightly by me, mightily
That's satisfaction enough for me
[Post Chorus]

Oh yeah

Oh, and holding him tightly by me, mightily
That's satisfaction enough for me
