[Verse 1]
Never thought that I could really trust you (Trust you)
Ever since I fell out of love with you
But when I lay you down (Lay you down)
You turn my feelings around
Something ‘bout your seductive beauty (Beauty)
Things you do that nobody else can do to me
Captivating my mind
Doing just what I like

[Chorus]
My mind’s telling me that I hate you
But my body’s saying (I want that)
Tried to play me on the low
Still my body’s saying (I need that)
Contagious is what you gotta be
Still my body’s saying (I want that)
All of my boys say you ain’t right, baby
But my body’s saying (I need that)

[Verse 2]
From the ice to the trips to Hawaii (Hello)
BMWs and Benzes with the 20’s
I gave you everything (Everything)
Then you went and bounced on me
Every night I still think about you
Sipping wine, making was our chemistry (Ooh yeah)
Laying in bed all day
Ooh girl, I miss those days

[Chorus]
My mind’s telling me that I hate you
But my body’s saying (I want that)
Tried to play me on the low
Still my body’s saying (I need that)
Contagious is what you gotta be
Still my body’s saying (I want that)
All of my boys say you ain’t right, baby
But my body’s saying (I need that)

[Bridge]
Your pretty tone (I’m thinkin’ ‘bout that)
French manicure (I’m thinkin’ ‘bout that)
You’re so prime (That’s why you got me)
Sprung on your…your love

[Chorus]
My mind is telling me that I hate you
But my body’s saying (I want that)
Tried to play me on the low
Still my body’s saying (I need that)
Contagious is what you gotta be
Still my body’s saying (I want that)
All of my boys say you ain’t right, baby
But my body’s saying (I need that)

My mind is telling me that I hate you
But my body’s saying (I want that)
Tried to play me on the low
Still my body’s saying (I need that)
Contagious is what you gotta be
Still my body’s saying (I want that)
All of my boys say you ain’t right, baby
But my body’s saying (I need that)

Ah, even the preacher said you ain’t right for me (I want that)
All of my family say leave you alone, but I… (I need that)
Oh, even my best friend, my best friend (I want that)
All say you ain’t right for me…

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.
