Body Slang

(album: Betty Wright - 1981)

Ooh, the way you're walking
You might as well be talking in body slang

Hey baby, I don't know your name, chile
But you communicate in body slang now
I've been watching you, ooh, I love the way you walk
Every step you take, it makes me wanna fall
Can I just hold ya, close to my chest
Kiss me, chile (smooch!) – go on, take my breath
Love me, love me to death
And if I like it, be back to get the rest

(You're talking to me, baby, in body slang)
I'm gonna come back to get the rest, chile
(Better watch what you're saying, I like that thang)

Hello pretty baby, ain't never felt this way, chile
I said you're talking to me in body slang now
I've been listening to you, and I love the way you talk
Like every word you say
Every word you say is like a love call
Now, wouldn't it be nice if I were yours?
You could have what I have in store
Love me, love me, love me, right down to the core
If I like it, be back to get some more

(You're talking to me, baby, in body slang)
I'm gonna come back to get some more, chile
(I like what you're saying, so watch that thang) hey, hey, hey

Oh yeah, ohh baby, nah baby... I said slow, baby
A little bit mo', baby
You better just watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah
Watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah
Watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah
Watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah

Don't cha wanna, don't cha wanna be my man?
I will give you love, all you can stand
Just tell me, I'll meet your every demand
And if I like it, be back to do it again

(You're talking to me, baby, in body slang)
I'm gonna come back to do it again, chile
(Better watch what you're saying, I like that thang) hey, hey, hey

Watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah
Watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah
Watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah
Watch that thang, yeah, body slang, yeah

Ohh, body slang, yeah, you've got body slang, yeah
You're just talking to me, talking to me, talking to me, yeah
(Ooh, the way you're walking
You might as well be talking in body slang)
In that old body slang, chile
(Ooh, the way you're walking
You might as well be talking in body slang)
I don't know what you're saying to me
Baby, but I like what I think I hear, yeah
(Ooh, the way you're walking
You might as well be talking in body slang)
In body slang, yeah
You're just talking to me, baby, in body slang now
(Ooh, the way you're walking
You might as well be talking in body slang
Ooh, the way you're walking
You might as well be talking in body slang...)
