Released: April 4, 2021

Songwriter: R. Kelly

Producer: R. Kelly

[Intro: R. Kelly]
Here is a story, about a man coming in
And finding his woman in bed with...
Well, listen

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
It's 2 A.M. I'm just getting in about to check my message
No one has called but my homies and some bill collectors
Cellular rings, somebody wants to borrow money
I two-way her she don't hit me back something is funny
So I called her mother's house and asked her has she seen my baby
Roll my six around looking for that missing lady
Got back in turned the TV on and caught the news
Then I put my hand on my head 'cause I'm so confused
And then I turned the TV down
'Cause I thought I heard a squeaky sound
Somеthings going on upstairs
And I know nobody else lives hеre
(Bump bump bump) As I get closer to the stairways all I hear
Then I hear my baby's voice in my ear screaming out....

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
You're contagious, touch me baby, give me what you got
(and then a man said)
Sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(And I just can't believe this shit)

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley]
I ran downstairs looked in the closet looking for that ooh
Said a prayer cause only God knows what I'm gonna do
What I saw was enough to drive a preacher wild
I'm in the hall contemplating not in my own damn house
Who would have thought she was creeping with another man?
The down low happening to me all over again
And then I turned the TV down
'Cause I know I heard a squeaky sound, something going on upstairs
'Cause I know no one else lives here
(Bump bump bump) As I get closer to the stairways all I hear
Then I hear my baby's voice in my ear screamin'

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
You're contagious, touch me baby, give me what you got
(And then a man said)
Sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(All I can do is hear them say)
You're contagious, touch me baby, give me what you got
(Woah-oh-oh)
Sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(All I can do is hear them say)

[Outro: Ronald Isley]
Well...

The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the “longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music”.

Alongside a fourth brother, Vernon, the group originally performed gospel music until Vernon’s death a few years after its original formation. After moving to the New York City area in the late 1950s, the group had modest chart successes during their early years, first coming to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, “Shout”, written by the three brothers. Initially a modest charted single, the song eventually sold over a million copies. Afterwards the group recorded modestly successful works for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single, “Twist and Shout” and the Motown single, “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” before recording and issuing the Grammy Award-winning hit, “It’s Your Thing” on their own label, T-Neck Records.
