You gotta jive to stay alive at night.
You wanna score before the morning gets you.
You¥re on a roll, you know what¥s in your sight.
You know you¥re gonna win if someone bets you.
Oooo you want to find a woman, get that lady.
Oooo you want it very much.
You¥re got a certain type of girl in mind.
And you decided that she¥s gonna like you.
And even if she¥s very hard to find,
it doesn¥t mean a thing because you got to.
Oooo you want to find a woman, get that lady,
Oooo you need her magic touch.
Until you find that woman,
forever you¥ll be crusing.
¥Cause that¥s the way you learned to play on the street.
When the time is right, you¥re a winner.
Take her to your night,
Â¥cause love opens your door.
Gotta treat her right, ¥cause she¥s a lady.
Love with all your might,
and then she¥ll be tellin¥ you,
Baby you¥re a man.
Don¥t want to take it easy wastin¥ time.
Â¥Cause life is getting better every day now.
You found the lady and you realize,
you gotta keep her so she doesn¥t stray now.
Oooo ¥cause everybody wants to get that lady.
Oooo she has a magic touch.
Some people never measure,
just play the game for pleasure.
But that¥s the way they learned to play on the street.
When the time is right, you¥re a winner.
Take her to your might,
Â¥cause love opens your door.
Gotta treat her right, ¥cause she¥s a lady.
Love with all your night,
and then she¥ll be tellin¥ you,
Baby you¥re a man.
When the time is right, you¥re a winner.
Take her to your night,
Â¥cause love opens your door.
Gotta treat her right, ¥cause she¥s a lady.
Love with all your might,
and she¥ll be tellin¥ you,
Woo yea, woo yea...
