I met myself a woman down in Memphis
She sat down and talked to me
When I asked her to reply
She looked in my eye and I said,
"Woman, I know what you need,
You need a man,
One who's long enough to last,
And he likes to take it slow and easy,
You need a man,
One with lovin' on his mind and
All he wants to do is, baby now, please."
She said, "Whoa, you're just a little bit crazed,
You don't know what you're talkin' about."
I said, "Now, listen little girl,
I'll give a two pound pearl,
If you only let me help you find out that
You need a man, one who's long enough to last,
And likes to take it slow and easy,
You need a man,
One with lovin' on his mind
And all he wants to do is please."
Now, I was sittin' in a little speakeasy,
When I came across that delta girl,
She said, "I hope you understand."
As she opened up the hand,
Now she said, "Honey, you can keep the pearl,
'Cause you are the man,
One who's long enough to last,
And likes to take it slow and easy,
You are the man,
One with lovin' on his mind and
All he wants to do is please."
Everyday seems a little brighter
Every load feels a little lighter
When I know I'm coming to you.
When every road seems a little longer
With every mile I grow a little stronger
When I know I'm coming to you.
You know I barely got enough money to buy the morning
news
I ain't seen a dollar since I last paid my union dues
But with love you're never without
and there ain't no reason to doubt
Oh there ain't no reason...no reason to doubt.
Always get a little lonely when I'm away from you
I end up feeling sorry for the pain I put you through
But with love you're never without, and there ain't no
reason to doubt
Oh there ain't no reason, no reason to doubt.
Everyday seems a little brighter
Every load feels a little lighter
When I know I'm coming to you.
When every road seems a little longer
With every mile I grow a little stronger
When I know I'm coming to you.
When I know I'm coming to you.

This was insulting back in the 70's....Now it's laughable.

What's in the pipe, Kenny?
They had two great albums imo. This and Sittin' In.
Kenny looks like the Geico caveman...
Is this what passed for adult contemporary back in '73? You can almost hear the beginning of disco in the middle of the song...although it does kick fairly well.

Greetings Bill...!!!
Finally, first with a comment
And this one aint too bad, got a nice thing going in the middle. Worth dusting off and lighting up, Bill ;-)
But why do they have to start singing so much, the musical groove would be enough for me
Cheers!
