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

[Refrain: 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, baby, and turn on the lights
All the lights
Come back over here, stand on the chair
That's right
Raise your arms up, up, up in the air
Shake 'em

[Refrain: 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 keep us apart
They say my love is wrong
But they don't know what my love is

[Refrain: Merl Saunders]
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
Yeah, 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

[Refrain: 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, out
