"Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won't Do)" lyrics

"Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won't Do)"

I got to have all your love, night and day.
Not just a little part, but all of your heart, sugar.

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
Oh, no, no, just won't get it

Don't be led in the wrong direction
To start this thing off right, a man need a little love and affection
Oh, yes, he do, now

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
Oh, no, no, just won't get it

All right. Lookie here

We got to bring it all down, start gettin' it right
We got to stop this messin' around, and keep the thing up tight
Oh, yes, we do, now

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
Oh, no, no, just won't get it

All right, sugar

Got to have a hundred
Got to have a hundred
All right

Oh, I must do, I must do, I must do now

Oh! Got to have a hundred!
Well, got to have a hundred!
Oh! Got to have a hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hundred, too right
Got to have a hundred, now. Oh!
