[Verse 1: Stephanie Mills with Teddy Pendergrass]
Something that you told me
Stayed in my head all night long
You wanted me to love you when you said
"Simply reach out and touch me, my love is in your hands"

[Chorus: Stephanie Mills & Teddy Pendergrass]
Feel me, I want to feel the fire
Why do you want to play with my emotion?

[Verse 2: Teddy Pendergrass]
And if I should lose your love
For any reason, any reason at all
Then just let my record show
I gave you all of my love, I know

[Chorus: Stephanie Mills, Teddy Pendergrass, Both]
Feel me (Oh, that's all you go to do), I want to feel the fire
Feel me, I want to feel the fire
I don't want to play with your emotions
Give me love and all your devotion

[Bridge]
Feel it
I want to feel you
Feel it

[Verse 3: Teddy Pendergrass]
And if I should lose your love
For any one reason, any reason at all (Tell me)
Then just let my record show
I gave you all the love, I know

[Chorus: Stephanie Mills, Teddy Pendergrass, Both]
Feel the fire, I want to feel you, feel me
I want to feel you
Feel the fire, feel me, I want to feel you
Teddy, Teddy, Teddy, don't you dare (I wouldn't dare)
Don't you dare try to play with my emotions

[Outro: Stephanie Mills, Teddy Pendergrass, Both]
I want to give you all of my love
I want to give you all of my love
Give it to me, yeah
Feel the fire, feel the fire
Feel it, feel it, feel it, don'tcha feel it?
Feel it, hee-hee, yeah, feel it, hee-hee, hee-hee
Feel it, oh, oh-oh, oh, feel it
Come on, Teddy, Teddy
I want to give you all of my love
I want to give you all of my love
I want to give you all of my, all of my, all of my
All of my, every little bit of my loving
Don't you dare, I don't believe that
You would dare to play with my emotions
You better believe it, baby
I do
Give me all of your love, baby
You got it all
Give me all of your love (You)
I'll give you all of mine

Teddy Pendergrass

Teddy Pendergrass, the Philadelphia soul singer whose husky, potent baritone was one definition of R&B seduction in the 1970s but whose career was transformed in 1982 when he was severely paralyzed in an auto accident.

As the lead singer for Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, and in a solo career in which he sold millions of albums, Mr. Pendergrass brought gospel dynamics to bedroom vows in songs like “If You Don’t Know Me by Now,”, “Close the Door,” “Turn Off the Lights” and “Love T.K.O.”

His performances rose from breathy whispers to gutsy exhortations, making his voice the deeper, more aggressive counterpart to the styles of 1970s soul men like Al Green and Marvin Gaye.
