Whole Lotta Woman Live At The Apollo Theater/1963 by The Contours Lyrics
[Intro: Bill Murry]
So right about now, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to get moving in the swing of things
I introduce to you a very talented group, and they're here just because the fact they'd like let you know that they can shake 'em on down
Ladies and gentlemen, the fabulous Contours!
*Applause and fanfare*
[Verse 1]
My baby with the pretty eyes
With a pretty faces and a pretty size
And you’re so nice, and you’re so sweet
And you’re sweeping me right off of my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s you I care for, it’s you I adore
I can’t get a wink, only could think
You’ve got me tossing, tossing at night
I just wanna hold you tight
[Verse 2]
You could be short, and you could be tall
It really wouldn’t matter, matter at all
You look good to me, from your head to toe
And each day, I love you more and more
[Verse 3]
And every time I see you, I wish I could
Take you and keep you baby, and love you good
And put my loving arms around you best
So you could be beside me, to lead me and guide me
To lead me and guide me—oh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, little girl, I’m telling you true
I can’t do without you
[Chorus]
My baby (my baby), you’ve got to be rider (my baby)
Whoa, my soul (my baby)
Say daddy, daddy, daddy (my baby)
Won’t you love me some more (my baby)
Now, you’s a whole lotta woman (my baby)
You’s a whole lotta woman (my baby)
[Verse 4]
Hey, I said every time I see you, I wish I could
Take you and keep you, and love you good
And my loving arms around your waist
So you could be beside me, to lead me and guide me
To lead me and guide me—oh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, little girl, I’m telling you true
I can’t do without you
[Verse 5]
You've got to kiss me in the morning
Early in the morning
About five o' clock, now now
Hold me tight, now
Baby, baby, baby
Whole lotta woman, lady
You, you, you
You and you and you
You and you and you
You and you and you
Early in the morning
About five o' clock, now now
Won't you hold me tight, now
Hold me tight, now now
You could be short, na na na
And you could be tall, na na na
Won't matter at all, na na na
Hold me in the morning, baby
Hold me like a woman, baby
Hold me like a woman, baby
[Outro]
