Lyrics

When that fire starts to burnin' Deep down inside of you When that love wheel starts to turnin; There ain't nothin' left to do But find an all the way lover. (All the way lover) Got to be an all the way, all the way (All the way lover) All the way lover, yeah Don't start somethin' you can't finish Frustration ain't no fun Halfway lovin' just don't get it Stay there 'til the job is done And be an all the way lover (All the way lover) You got to be an all the way, all the way, (All the way lover) All the way lover, yeah Ain't no sense in doin' nothin' If you're gonna do it wrong Pretty good ain't good enough You gotta get down to the bone And be an all the way lover. (All the way lover) Got to be an all the way, all the way, (All the way lover) All the way lover, yeah When I speak of an all the way lover I'm not only referrin' to the men, 'cause some of you women ain't shit either Sit up on your butts all day long, do absolutely nothing but watch one Soap opera after another one: The Love of Life, Search For Tomorrow You'll be searchin' for tomorrow alright when these other women Snatch your man and go on about their business And in case you missed one, well, get on the phone and call Long Distance to find out what happened You'd be, "Oh child, did you see All My Children today? Oh, what did Miss Tyler do? Oh honey, what did Erica do today?" I'll Erica your ass alright And if you're not watching TV, on the telephone gossipin' tellin' your business You say somethin' like "Oh honey, my old man sure did put a killin' on me last night. Oh, it sho' was good." And your girlfriend be sittin' up talkin' about, "Oh?", 'cause she really Didn't think the ***** could do nothin' And now you done told her how good it is, she wants to go over and Test it out for herself Done blew your shit just messin' around gossipin' Done blew your thing If not that, when your man get in feelin' in a good and lovely mood Wants to get down, puts some good lovin' on you for real, you'd be Talkin' about, "Oh no, I went to the beauty shop today, child You can't be runnin' your fingers through my hair. I got my hair done." Couldn't get his fingers through most of your hair if he want to As nappy as it is It's a cryin' shame Low down dirty shame And I'm feelin' bitchy, yeah I'm feelin' bitchy about it, yeah In fact, if I were some of these men, I'd just go out and get me A sissy and call it a day and forget about it And I wanna tell you guys somethin', you don't have to worry about AB if you decide to do that now, 'cause she got enough problems of Her own She gonna go out and commit suicide when she find out that Orange bird got a break in his wing too. (Laughing) Oooh, hoo, hoo, yeah Got to be an all the way, all the way lover, yeah I'm tellin' you right now You women need to be an all the way, all the way Yeah, women need to learn to be all the way lovers, yeah But wait a minute, don't get mad at me I can understand why some of you go through these changes Havin' a man like some of you got is enough to make you go Through some weird changes You go to the beauty shop and get in that chair Your man in there gettin' his hair fixed He cuter than you, huh, huh Think you're too cute to get down You might mess up his curls too Ain't no more sweatin' in the bedroom, that's completely out He layin' up there with two strokes goin' for him, up and down Ain't never heard of a curve unless it was on a ball field Talkin' 'bout an all the way All the way lovers, yeah Only I can't find none to talk about, heh, tryin' to find some And you really wanna get one of them mad, heh, heh Why would you on one of them nights when he thinks he's doin' Somethin' while he got you layin' there lyin' talkin' 'bout how good It is? 'Cause you know the rent is due and he must pay it Why don't you look at him and really get him upset sayin' Get down, get down, get down Get down tonight And if he acts like you don't know what you're talkin' about, look at Him again and be very frank says Get on down and par-tay! Mind you, I say partay, not party, par-tay Get all the way down They gotta be an all the way lover, yeah See, most men don't wanna own up to partayin', but most of 'em do Even though their wife don't know it You gotta get down, all the way down, yeah You gotta learn to be an all the way lover, yeah 'Cause I got me an all the way Right now, I got me an all the way lover, yeah No kissin' on the belly button and stoppin' there You gotta be an all the way lover, yeah Oooh, hoo. Uh huh Let's get on down Whoo! Uh. Uh huh I-I-I-I-I think you better hold it right there, uh You're gettin' a girl nervous here I like an all the way, all the way, all the way lover, yeah H-H-H-H-How about just goin' to the kneecap or somethin'?
