I’ve Been Born Again

Lyrics

MAN: Hey, Johnnie Taylor JOHNNIE: Yeah, man MAN: C'mon, man, let's go. We late, man JOHNNIE: No, I ain't goin' tonight MAN: Aw, man, you didn't go out last week JOHNNIE: Well, see, I'm livin' for my baby MAN: Aw, man, what's this stuff about livin' for your baby? JOHNNIE: Well, I've been born again MAN: Born again? JOHNNIE: I'm a brand new man MAN: Brother, you crazy JOHNNIE: I've been born again, man I've been born again I'm a brand new man. (I'm a brand new) Oh, I've been born again Saturday night in the city Parties on every block It's a temptation for a man who loves to party But my party days had to stop So fellas, you can keep your street life Changin' women like you change your clothes Every woman I need, she's wrapped up in one And our love just grows and grows A whole lot of women is an ego trip I'd rather spend my time kissin' my baby's sweet lips I've been born again. (There's a change in me.) I've been born again. (I said a change, a change.) I've been born again, can't you see it? (There's a change in me.) I've been born again. (I said a change, a change.) Oh, I'm not a Casanova My playin' days are over I think I'm gonna start me a fire Got my matchbox in my hand Burnin' up the pages in my little black book Start my life all over again I don't need no women in excess I can't afford to spread my lovin' around When my woman needs me by her side I just don't wanna let her down Oh, a whole lot of women is an ego trip I'd rather spend my, spend my time kissin' my baby's sweet lips I've been born again. (There's a change in me.) Now see the change in me. (I said a change, a change.) I've been born again. (There's a change in me.) I've been born again. (I said a change, a change.) Look at that Oh, I'm not a Casanova My playin' days are over I don't need a lot of women, no, no Just to prove my manhood I got me one woman, special woman So I can be the man that I should Oh, a whole lot of women is an ego trip I'd rather spend my time kissin' my baby's sweet lips I've been born again, said I've changed deep. (There's a change in me.) I've been born again. (I said a change, a change.) I've been born again. (There's a change in me.) You know what I'm talkin' about, a yeah is a yeah. (I said a change, a change.) I've been born again. (I said a change, a change.) The things that I used to do, I don't do no more. (I said a change, a change.) Places I used to go, I don't go no more. (I said a change, a change.) I've been born again. (I said a change, a change.)
