Satisfy my soul
Lyrics:
[English]
Oh, please, don't you rock my boat (don't rock my boat)
'Cause I don't want my boat to be rockin' (don't rock my boat)
Oh, please, don't you rock my boat (don't rock my boat)
'Cause I don't want my boat to be rockin' (don't rock my boat)
I'm telling you that, oh, oh-ooh, wo-o-wo
I like it - like it this (I like it like this, I like it like this)
So keep it steady, like this (I like it like this)
And you should know - you should know by now
I like it (I like it like this), I like it like this
(I like it like this, I like it like this)
I like it like this, ooh, yeah (I like it like this)
(Satisfy my soul) you satisfy my soul (satisfy my soul)
Whoa yeah - you satisfy my soul (satisfy my soul)
Every little action (satisfy my soul)
There's a reaction (satisfy my soul)
Oh, can't you see, what you've done for me, oh yeah
I'm happy inside, all, all of the time, whoa oh
When we (bend) bend a new corner
I feel like a (sweep) sweepstake winner
When I meet you around the corner ('round the corner)
You make me feel like a sweepstake winner
(A sweep - a sweepstake winner)
Whoa, child!
Can't you see? You must believe me!
Oh darling, darling, I'm calling, calling
Can't you see? Why won't you believe me?
Oh, darling, darling, I'm calling, calling
(Calling, calling, calling, calling)
When I meet you around the corner
Oh, I said, baby, never let me be a loner
And then you hold me tight, you make me feel alright
Yes, when you hold me tight, you made me feel alright
Whoa, honey, can't you see? Don't you believe me?
Oh, darling, darling, I'm callin', callin'
Can't you see? Why won't you believe me?
Oh, darling, darling, I'm callin', callin'
(Calling, calling, calling, calling)
Satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul
Satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul
That's all I want you to do (satisfy my soul)
That's all I'll take from you (satisfy my soul)
Satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul
