"Shoo Rah, Shoo Rah" lyrics
(originally by Betty Wright)
You got to wake up early in the morning
You got to stay up all night long, now
Huh, you still won't catch up 'cause I've got to want it
I've got a feeling that you wanna do me wrong, now
Like a ball of lightning and a ball of heat
You wanna lock me right of my feet
But I recognize through the eyes of a fool
That you've got the power to make your own rules, now say
Shoo rah, shoo rah, say, I can see you comin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Shoo rah, shoo rah, I can hear you hummin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
I can see you movin', movin' all around me
I know you're trying to get me upset
I can hear you groovin', thinking you done found me
I'm here to tell you ain't got me yet, 'cause
Shoo rah, shoo rah, say, I can see you comin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Shoo rah, shoo rah, I can hear you hummin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Oh no, oh no
I checked you out from the corner of my eye
You and the devil walking side by side
But I recognize through the eyes of a fool
That you've got the power to make your own rules, let's say
Shoo rah, shoo rah, say, I can see you comin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me, uh
Shoo rah, shoo rah, I can hear you hummin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Shoo rah, shoo rah, oh, baby
Shoo rah, shoo rah, shoo rah, shoo rah
Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about, it was meanness
Shoo rah, shoo rah, it means you won't catch me now
Won't catch me baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Catch me, catch me, oh, you got to catch me, baby
Catch me, y'all, catch me, oh, no, no, you won't catch me
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo rah, shoo rah
Oh, no, yeah, you won't catch me baby
You won't catch me, no, no
You got to stay up all night long, now
Huh, you still won't catch up 'cause I've got to want it
I've got a feeling that you wanna do me wrong, now
Like a ball of lightning and a ball of heat
You wanna lock me right of my feet
But I recognize through the eyes of a fool
That you've got the power to make your own rules, now say
Shoo rah, shoo rah, say, I can see you comin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Shoo rah, shoo rah, I can hear you hummin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
I can see you movin', movin' all around me
I know you're trying to get me upset
I can hear you groovin', thinking you done found me
I'm here to tell you ain't got me yet, 'cause
Shoo rah, shoo rah, say, I can see you comin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Shoo rah, shoo rah, I can hear you hummin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Oh no, oh no
I checked you out from the corner of my eye
You and the devil walking side by side
But I recognize through the eyes of a fool
That you've got the power to make your own rules, let's say
Shoo rah, shoo rah, say, I can see you comin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me, uh
Shoo rah, shoo rah, I can hear you hummin'
Shoo rah, shoo rah, but you won't catch me
Shoo rah, shoo rah, oh, baby
Shoo rah, shoo rah, shoo rah, shoo rah
Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about, it was meanness
Shoo rah, shoo rah, it means you won't catch me now
Won't catch me baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Catch me, catch me, oh, you got to catch me, baby
Catch me, y'all, catch me, oh, no, no, you won't catch me
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo rah, shoo rah
Oh, no, yeah, you won't catch me baby
You won't catch me, no, no
