Check It Out

(album: So Many Rivers - 1985)

Girrrl, Baby
What gave it away?
You had something on your mind
that you didn't know how to say
Ohhh, How can I love you [with background chorus]
if you keep running away
Doing everything in my power to make to make you stay
Hey baby keep running away Whowwww!!!
Checking out see what I'm all about
And in your mind you can have no bout [with background]
Have no bout all ya' do is check it out Whowwww!!!

Your vibes, baby lemme tell you about 'em
is what I kept feeling inside
I was trying to be a stubborn type of fellow
but I kept holding holdin back my pride

How can we make love to each other [with background chorus]
If you keep running away if you keep running away
Doin everything in my heart to make you stay
Make ya stay, Make ya stay [chorus sings in background]
Doing everything in my power to make to make you stay
Hey baby can't stop running away Whowwww!!!
Checking out see what I'm all about
Don't have to listen to your friends
cause you'll find out all ya' do is check it out Whowwww!!!

Get on down you'll have to get up
if you want to get down
I'll give you my love
And I'll put it where you want it
but you gotta' stick around

How I can make love to you [with background singers]
if you keep running away
Whoa
Doing everything in my power to make to make you stay
Make ya stay, Make ya stay [chorus sings in background]
Girl pick it up, let it lay, let it lay Owwww
