Bodyheat (Part 1) Lyrics By James Brown

    unh yeah
    body heat
    yeah
    yeah

    when your body gets down from aggravation
    and you need some love from fascination

    what’s that body heat
    what’s that body heat

    when your body won’t do what you want it to
    and you don’t do it because you know you’re through

    what’s that body heat
    what’s that body heat

    when you can’t get your body please
    and you need some love for your tension ease

    what’s that body heat
    what’s that body heat
    ha ah payback

    ha ah got to go to church y’all
    got to go to church y’all
    got to go to church y’all
    got to go to church y’all
    you got to cut off the heat take off that pressure
    cut off the heat take off that pressure
    turn off the heat take off that pressure
    turn off the heat take off that pressure
    gimme some air i can’t go nowhere
    i gotta go to church y’all
    i’m having bad luck i’m having bad luck
    i’m having bad luck i’m having bad luck
    got to release the funk
    i’m having bad luck i’m having bad luck
    i got to release the pressure
    i got to go to church y’all
    got to go to church y’all

    my mother told me i’d be a loving son of a gun
    when i was a little boy about the age of two

    when i was a little boy about the age of three
    don’t want nobody bothering me
    when i was a little boy about the age of four
    back up i had to check myself gonna get me some more

    ha cut off the heat take off that pressure
    gimme some air i can’t go nowhere
