[Verse]
I walked (I walked, and walked)
Like a zombie in the night
You came
(You came, you came)
And you brought me back to life
I tried so hard
(I tried, I tried)
To become the one you need
But now you think that you're not enough for me

[Outro]
You don't have to change for me
I love you just the way you are
I'd rather change the sun and the moon
Or see December snow in June

Kool & the Gang

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
