Lyrics

You never want to comfort me
Knowing what you really need
You always say you've had enough
You never want to give it up
But everybody's got to move and
Everybody got to groove
Everybody needs love sure enough
Everybody ought to live it up
Well what did I do that was wrong
I just want to have some fun
We've been holding back for too
And I want to live, we've gotta live it up
Ive got to ease your mind
I know Ill have a bit of luck
To make you have a good time
I've got to make you live it up
Written by: Christopher Jasper, Ernest Isley, O'Kelly Isley Jr., Ronald Isley
