"Check It Out" lyrics

Girrrl, Baby --
What gave it away?
You had somethin' on your mind
that you didn't know how to say
Ohhh, How can I love you [with background chorus]
if you keep runnin' away --
Doin' everything in my power to make to make you stay --
Hey baby -- keep runnin' away -- Whowwww!!!
Checking out see what I'm all about --
And in your mind -- you can have no bout [with background]
Have no bout -- all ya' do is check it out -- Whowwww!!!

Your vibes, baby -- lemme tell you about 'em
is what I kept feelin' inside --
I was tryin' to be a stubborn type of fellow
but I kept holdin' holdin back my pride --

How can we make love to each other [with background chorus]
If you keep runnin' away -- if you keep runnin' away
Doin everything in my heart to make you stay
Make ya stay, Make ya stay [chorus sings in background]
Doin' everything in my power to make to make you stay
Hey baby -- can't stop runnin' away -- Whowwww!!!
Checking out see what I'm all about
Don't have to listen to your friends
cause you'll find out -- all ya' do is check it out -- Whowwww!!!

Get on down -- you'll have to get up
if you want to get down
I'll give you my love --
And I'll put it where you want it --
but you gotta' stick around

How I can make love to you [with background singers]
if you keep runnin' away --
Whoa --
Doin' everything in my power to make to make you stay
Make ya stay, Make ya stay [chorus sings in background]
Girl pick it up, let it lay, let it lay -- Owwww

Checking out see what I'm all about [chorus sings in background]
And in your mind -- you can have no bout
Have no bout -- all ya' do is check it out -- Oooohhhhoooowwww!!!
Ohh, Yeah -- Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Hmmmm - Owwwwhhh!!
[Bobby sings:]
Get on up, Get on down --
Ohhh, I'll be around when your sun goes down
Hey baby -- Gotta, Gotta, Gotta
Whoo hoo ooh ooh hey come here oh yeahh yeah
Oh Baby
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh Baby, -- Oooohhhhoooowwww!!!
Baby!
