lyrics

THAT MAN

He said that he don’t listen to the radio
He say
he only like to hear that Go-go
at the club with that live flow I
I said that I would slide by
because he caught my eye
So it was no surprise that when I came on in he said hi I I slid over to him
side by side I'm talking to him
Til they played that last tune
I told him that I couldn’t stay

He said he had a ride
and I should come
Hang out where they’re gonna run
Called my friends and told em that I wasn’t coming over

I’ve been snatched up by some guy
who I think is fly
Hope that I don’t die
but Im gonna see tonight

Im gonna take a chance
Im looking for romance
Maybe it ain’t smart for me
but Im gonna do what I can
for that man

Took me to a spot I’d never seen before
Not in DC but this ain’t Baltimore
A Huge club, with a live show, I
I never so many folks
everybody’s on the floor
not one person sitting down
I can’t believe that everyone’s vibing -with the band
I like the way he grabbed my hand
He found a spot for us to dance
I told him I cant stay too late
Told him that everything was great for me
He said Hang out longer, chill with me
So I called my friends and told em that they need to come on over Ive been

I’ve been snatched up by some guy
who I think is fly
Hope that I don’t die
but Im gonna see tonight

Im gonna take a chance
Im looking for romance
Maybe it ain’t smart for me
but Im gonna do what I can
for that man

That man
knows that he’s so fine
that man
could take all my time
that man
got to be mine
that man, that man, that man
Wants to settle down
That man
sends me to the clouds
That man
love when he’s around that man
That man, that man - ooo, oooo
that man, that man

I’ve been snatched up by some guy
who I think is fly
Hope that I don’t die
but Im gonna see tonight

Im gonna take a chance
Im looking for romance
Maybe it ain’t smart for me
but Im gonna do what I can
for that man

Oooo
Whoo Oooo
Ahhh

For that man
That man
That man
That

(Skat sounds)
Ba di dah dah dah
Di deet dah di dah di dah
Bop bop baaa,
do, da da
Baaaa Do da da
