Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, take off your coat, real slow
Take off your shoes
I'll take off your shoes
Baby, take off your dress
[Verse 2]
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
[Verse 3]
Go over there
Turn on the lights, all the lights
Come over here, stand on that chair, yeah that's right
Raise your arms up in the air
And now shake 'em
[Verse 4]
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
[Verse 5]
Sweet darling
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
Baby (You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
(You can leave your hat on)
(You can leave your hat on)
[Verse 6]
Suspicious minds are talking
They're tryin' to tear us apart
They don't believe in this love of mine
[Verse 7]
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
Well, I know what love is
[Verse 8]
I'll have my way
(You can leave your hat on)
I  can leave your hat on
Wait, what?
(You can leave your hat on)
Give me some reason to live
(You can leave your hat on) You can leave your hat on
Darling just know
