Ooh-ooh…

Girl, I've been watching you
From so far across the floor, now, baby
That's nothing new, I've watched you
So many times before, now, baby
I see that look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
And what it’s telling me
And you know, ooh, girl, that I'm not shy
I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy, now, baby
[Chorus]
You read my mind (You know you did)
Girl I wanna shake you down (oh well, oh well)
I can give you all the lovin' you'll need
(I’m gonna love you)
Come on let me take you down (oh, baby)
We’ll go all the way to heaven

And you know, it's funny
Every time I get to feelin' this way
I wish I had you near me
I wanna reach out and touch you…
[Bridge]
I can't stop thinking of the things we do
The way you call me, baby, when I'm holding you
I shake and I shiver when I know you're near
Then you whisper in my ear, oh, baby, well, well
[Chorus]
You read my mind (You know you did)
Girl, I wanna shake you down (oh, baby)

(Come on, let me take you down)
Hey, baby
(We'll go all the way to heaven)
(Come to me tonight)
(You read my mind)

C'mon, baby, whisper in my ear
C'mon, sugar, lemme shake you down
(Lovin' you'll need)
I wanna take you down to the ground
(Come on, let me take you down)
I shake and I shiver when I know you're near
(We'll go all the way to heaven)
C'mon, baby, whisper in my ear
Classic
I'm 50 and remember listening to this song while crusing in my 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass with my girlfriend.
My JVC pullout deck and new Blaupunkt speakers were jammin. These now seem like the simple days.
Listening to this music makes me nostalgic and a bit sad for some reason.
I miss those times, I never knew how quick time would fly by.
Nothing brings back memories of those high school girlfriends like this song.
I love this romance song
I’m 38 and I love older music. It’s timeless !! ❤
We are still here till the end of time..❤
Velhos tempos,como é linda essa música, lembro da minha juventude linda…

A Lionel question ❓⁉️…if YouTube doesn't want people to say anything they shouldn't show it especially all the lies they put out to the people…. they show nasty stuff but they act like the person commenting is bad for typing what they feel….if they don't want a response don't show dumb stuff especially Court house bull …… violation of people's rights… their saying Trump is not above the law well neither is YouTube
