Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got to have all your love
All night and day, oh, yeah
Not just a little part
But all of your heart, oh, yes, I do, child
[Verse 2]
Ninety-nine and a half
Just won't do
No, ain't gon' get it, no, no
[Verse 3]
Don't be led in the wrong direction, oh, no
Stop and think
A man needs a little love and affection, oh, yes, I do, child
[Verse 4]
Ninety-nine and a half
Just won't do
Woo, just won't get it, no, no
[Verse 5]
We got to bring it on down
And start living right
Oh, yes, we do, now, child
Stop messing around, and keep things up tight, oh, yeah
We got to realize
[Verse 6]
That ninety-nine and a half
Just won't do, no
Got to have a hundred, oh, yeah
[Verse 7]
Oh, got to have a hundred, no
Ain't no use in fooling ourselves, honey, oh
We ain't gonna be able to get by off ninety-nine, no
Go to have a hundred, whoa-ho
Lord have mercy
Just won't do now, baby
It just won't do now
