I've been watching you
Watching all the girls go crazy over you
Meet me on the floor
And let's talk about the special things you do
Give me what I want
And I'll do just what you want me to do
'Cause tonight I'm hot
And baby you got something I can use

I need a love injection
A bit of your affection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
A love injection
To cure up my infection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me

Give me what I miss
Let me feel your kisses in the dark
Boy, don't make me wait
Why must you keep me hanging on
I'm not hard to please
If you'll give me what I need from you
'Cause baby I'm so hot
And you've got something I can really use

I need a love injection
A bit of your affection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
A love injection
To cure up my infection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
Oh

Come on
Give me the satisfaction that I like
Oooh, yeah
I need a love injection tonight

I need a love injection
A bit of your affection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
A love injection
To cure up my infection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me

I need a love injection
A bit of your affection
A love injection
Won't you give it to me
A love injection
To cure up my infection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
A love injection
A bit of your affection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
A love injection
To cure up my infection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
A love injection
A bit of your affection
Love injection
Won't you give it to me
Love injection
I need a love injection

Jody Watley is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer that first danced her way to fame at 14-years-old as a dancer on Soul Train. That experience led show host Don Cornelius and booking agent Dick Griffey to place her and fellow dancer Jeffrey Daniel in the group Shalamar in 1977, with lead singer Howard Hewett added to the group in 1979. They produced the hits “Second Time Around,” “Make That Move,” “This is for the Lover in You,” and “A Night to Remember” before Watley left the group in 1983 due to conflict within the group and a lack of payment from Dick Griffey’s SOLAR Records label.

She released her self-titled debut album in 1987 featuring the #1 Dance hits “Don’t You Want Me,” “Some Kind of Lover,” and “Looking for a New Love,” which also peaked at #1 on the R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Pop chart. This album went Platinum and led to her winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1988. Her follow-up album Larger Than Life was released in 1989 and featured the Top 10 Pop hits “Everything,” “Friends” with Rakim, and the #1 Dance and R&B hit “Real Love.” She worked on these albums with Prince bassist André Cymone, who she would later marry in 1991 before separating in 1995.

She released nine studio albums between 1987 and 2006, and in 2008, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Billboard Music Awards. Her last project was the 2014 EP Paradise on her own Avitone label and she made an appearance on DâM-FunK’s Invite the Light album in 2015 on the track “Virtuous Progression.” She also formed “Shalamar Reloaded” with two new members and continues to tour.
