Bobby Womack - The Preacher lyrics

Gimme my groove Lemme hear everybody in the house tonight If ya still feel like you want to have a good time All ya gotta say is yeah -- [Crowd sings:] Yeah [Bobby:] Yeah [Crowd:] Yeah Yeah [Bobby:] Lemme hear ya just say it a little bit louder lemme hear ya say yeah [Crowd:] Yeah [Bobby sings:] Hmmmmm I don't know why -- I, I feel like I wanna preach tonight I wonder would yall mind -- If I preach to you for about 5 minutes But I got to know that I got some warriors in the house tonight All ya gotta say is yeah -- [Crowd sings:] yeah [Bobby sings:] Owwwww!!! About five years ago -- I fell in love But you know I never believed -- I never believed in working a real hard job But one day my old lady walked up and told me -- and said Bobby She said your lovin' is good -- But my money is gettin' sort of thin Lemme hear ya say yeah She said, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, boy," "But you better get ooonnnn out -- and find yourself a job!" My nose was sort of opened wide at that time So early that next morning I went ooonnnn out -- lookin' -- Tryin to find a job -- And I'm mighty glad to today to tell you that I found it I put in 24 hours a day -- And then a little bit overtime And here's the sad part of the story You know something about that, don't you? Listen to me, now What brought me home -- It brought me home sort of early one night, huh I got a funny -- I got a funny -- feeling That something wasn't going on in my house that wasn't right Until I recognized my old lady's voice -- And she kept tellin' she said -- Oooh, baby! And I was steady listenin' she said -- Oooh, baby! And he sort of stuttering too -- He kept sayin, like, Uh, what, honey? She kept tellin' him -- look, keep on doin' doin' doin' what you're doin' boy! [Bobby:] And lemme hear ya yeah -- Make me know you're still with me -- [Crowd sings:] Yeah Lemme hear ya yeah -- [Crowd sings:] Yeah So I started to call my baby I said, "Baby!" I said "I'm glad to walk away if ya do me one thing... would ya do me one thing...?"
