Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't talk, just hold me closer

Let me sit on top of your knee

Go ahead and take care of business for me

For me, for me

[Verse 2]

Oh Lord, don't keep me waiting

Be as firm as can be

Go ahead and take care of business for me

For me, for me

[Bridge]

In all my life, no one has touched me so close

Nor made me feel so sweet

I say to you, you are God's gift to all womanhood

Take it from me, take it from me

[Verse 3]

You know

You know that I love you truly

And I want the whole round world to see

How you can take care of business for me

For me, for me

[Outro]

Go on

Take care of business for me

Yeah, yeah, now go on

And take care of business for me
