Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
[Hot House]
You've got me reelin'
You've got me swingin' to your melody
Oh yeah
I never knew a man
Could love me this way
I never knew it
Now I'm happy to say
I'm gonna get some reelin'
I want a lovin' feelin'
Baby, how you blew me away
It must have been love
Wasn't ready for the heavy way
It took me by surprise
Now I'm lovin' and it feels okay
We let our lovin' take us far away
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
You've got me reelin'
You've got me swingin' to your melody
I'm in a hot house
[East Of Suez]
Come on, sailor
I'm calling you, I am calling you
I wanna know do you have to go
Come on, sailor
I'm calling you, I am calling you
Calling you
Come on, baby
Come, I'll be waiting right here
Anyone's love for a price can be found
Come home with me, baby
Casbah
I'm calling you, I am calling you
I wanna know do you have to go
Come on, sailor
I'm calling you, I am calling you
Calling you
Calling you, calling you, hey you
Oh baby, what a feel in the flight
Come on, sailor
[Epistrophy]
What did you say, what did you say
I wanna play, I wanna play
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay
Don't run away, don't run away
What did you say, what did you say
I wanna play, I wanna play
Play your sax for your lady
I'm makin' tracks with you, baby
Play your horn for me, baby
Heaven has hit me
Blind me completely
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
[Yardbird Suite]
I'll drag the phone right around
There is no, not a sweeter melody
I'll drag the long night around
There is no, not a nicer melody
[Con Alma]
Mi corazón
I didn't know how to say (Con alma)
Ooh I love you
Oh what a price to pay
Ooh this time
You'll never run away
You and me, baby
[Giant Steps]
Takin' giant steps, takin' giant steps
Giant steps, giant step, giant steps
