[Verse 1: Merl Saunders]
Baby, take off your coat...real slow
Baby, take off your shoes...I'll take those
Baby, get off that, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes, yes

[Chorus: Merl Saunders]
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

[Verse 2: Merl Saunders]
Go on over there, turn on the light, all the lights
Come back here, stand on the chair, that's right
Raise your arms up up in the air...I say shake 'em

[Chorus: Merl Saunders]
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live

[Verse 3: Merl Saunders]
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say my love is wrong
But they don't know what my love is
[Chorus: Merl Saunders]
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4: Merl Saunders]
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say my love is wrong
But they don't know what my love is

[Chorus: Merl Saunders]
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
