Lyrics

Somebody took the papers
And somebody's got the key
And somebody's nailed the door shut
That says: "hey, what you think that you see?"
But me, I'm down around the corner
You know I'm lookin' for miss Linda Lee
Because she's got the power to love me by the hour
Gives me double you l-ov-e
Hey, baby, you want it so fast
Don't you know that it ain't gonna last?
Of course you know it makes no difference to me
Somebody's got the time time
Somebody's got the right
All of the other people
Tryin' to use up the night
But now me, I'm out on the corner
You know I'm lookin' for miss Linda Lee
Because she's got the power to love me by the hour
Gives me double you l-o-v-e, ooh
Hey, if you want it so fast
(If you want it to last)
Don't you know honey you can get it so fast?
But of course you know it makes no difference to me
Oh-oh, you'd better
Cool it down
You know you'd better
Cool it down
You maybe you'd better
Cool it down
You know you'd better
Cool it down
Oh, hey, if you want it so fast
Now look a lot, baby, don't you want it to last
But of course you know that it makes no difference to me
Oh-oh-oh, you'd better
Cool it down
Now, baby, better
Cool it down
Oh, you know you'd better
Cool it down
You know you'd better
Cool it down
You better cool it down
Oh, baby, cool, cool it down
You better cool it down, down
Baby, better cool it down
