Lyrics

Ooh baby, ooh baby

Ooh baby, ooh baby

You've got me reelin'

You've got me swingin' to your melody

Oh yeah

I never knew a man

Could love me this way

I never knew it

Now I'm happy to say

I'm gonna get some reelin'

I want a lovin' feelin'

Baby, how you blew me away

It must have been love

Wasn't ready for the heavy way

It took me by surprise

Now I'm lovin' and it feels okay

We let our lovin' take us far away

Ooh baby, ooh baby

Ooh baby, ooh baby

You've got me reelin'

You've got me swingin' to your melody

I'm in a hot house

Come on, sailor

I'm calling you, I am calling you

I wanna know do you have to go

Come on, sailor

I'm calling you, I am calling you

Calling you, come on baby

Come, I'll be waiting right here

Anyone's love for a price can be found

Come home with me, baby

Casbah

I'm calling you, I am calling you

I wanna know do you have to go

Come on, sailor

I'm calling you, I am calling you

Calling you

Calling you, calling you, hey you

Oh baby, what a feel in the flight

Come on, sailor

What did you say, what did you say?

I wanna play, I wanna play

Why don't you stay, why don't you stay?

Don't run away, don't run away

What did you say, what did you say

I wanna play, I wanna play

Why don't you stay, why don't you stay?

Don't run away, don't run away

What did you say, what did you say

I wanna play, I wanna play

Why don't you stay, why don't you stay?

Don't run away, don't run away

What did you say, what did you say

I wanna play, I wanna play

Play your sax for your lady

I'm makin' tracks with you, baby

Play your horn for me, baby

Heaven has hit me

Blind me completely

Ooh baby, ooh baby

Ooh baby, ooh baby

Ooh baby, ooh baby

Ooh baby, ooh baby

I'll drag the phone right around

There is no, not a sweeter melody

I'll drag the long night around

There is no, not a nicer melody

Mi corazón

I didn't know how to say (con alma)

I love you, oh what a price to pay

Oh this time, you'll never run away

You had me, baby

Taking giant steps

Taking giant steps

Giant steps

Giant steps

Giant steps
