Gimme my groove

Lemme hear everybody in the house tonight

If ya still feel like you want to have a good time

All ya gotta say is yeah --

(Crowd) Yeah

Yeah

(Bobby)Lemme hear ya just say it a little bit louder

lemme hear ya say yeah

(Crowd) Yeah

(Bobby sings) Hmmmmm

I don't know why -- I, I feel like I wanna preach tonight

I wonder would yall mind -- If I preach to you for about 5 minutes

But I got to know that I got some warriors in the house tonight

All ya gotta say is yeah --

(Crowd sings) yeah

About five years ago -- I fell in love

But you know I never believed -- I never believed in working a real hard job

But one day my old lady walked up and told me -- and said Bobby

She said your lovin' is good --

But my money is gettin' sort of thin

Lemme hear ya say yeah

She said, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, boy,"

"But you better get ooonnnn out -- and find yourself a job!"

My nose was sort of opened wide at that time

So early that next morning

I went ooonnnn out -- lookin' --

Tryin to find a job --

And I'm mighty glad to today to tell you that I found it

I put in 24 hours a day --

And then a little bit overtime

And here's the sad part of the story

You know something about that, don't you?

Listen to me, now

What brought me home --

It brought me home sort of early one night, huh

I got a funny -- I got a funny -- feeeling

That somethimg wasn't going on in my house that wasnt right

Until I recognized my old lady's voice --

And she kept tellin' she said -- Oooh, baby!

And I was steady listenin' she said -- Oooh, baby!

And he sort of stuttering too -- He kept sayin, like, Uh, what, honey?

She kept tellin' him -- look, keep on doin' doin' doin'

what youre doin' boy!

(Bobby) And lemme hear ya yeah --

Make me know you're still with me -- (Crowd sings) Yeah

Lemme hear ya yeah -- (Crowd sings) Yeah

So I started to call my baby

I said, "Baby!"

I said "I'm glad to walk away if ya do me one thing...

would ya do me one thing...?"

Girl don't pull the rug from under my feet -- OOOHHH

Don't leave, don't leave me so, I'm talking in my sleep

Listen to me ---

This could be the start of a nightmare

Waking up and not finding you there

It would be more that I could stand

Oh, baby Oh, baby

Girl, don't leave me so I'm pacing the floor (don't you do it baby)

Cause that's, that's what I'll do if you close the door

Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans

It would be like tying the both of my hands

And that's more than I could ever stand

Cause that's more than I could stand

Why you wanna leave me?

Why you wanna go?

I promise not

To never, never hurt you no more

Oh, please don't leave me

Please don't go

By causin' my heart to ache

Causin' it to break

I beleive we've still got, a lot of love to give, baby

So turn around, baby (turn around)

While there's a lot of life we can live

Maybe I've been too hung up on myself

But don't change me by putting my heart on a shelf

Cause that's more than I could everstand

Oh tell me, Oh tell me

Why you wanna leave me? -- Why you wanna go?

Why you wanna leave me? -- Why you wanna go?

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
