Come Go with Me (feat. Martha Reeves) Lyrics


Come on and go with me
Come on over to my placeI dont feel like bein lonely tonight
You see, I want, I want some company
And you look like you're just my type
Youre the kind, youre the kind
Whose spirits are runnin freeLets take a sip of some cold, cold wine
And dance to the music nice and slow
And you wont be under any kind of pressure
You see, well just let, well just let the evenin' flowCome on and go with me
Id sure like that, baby
Come on over to my place
It would be so nice, it would be so good
Come on and go with me
Come on over to my placeYou look like youre just bored to death
And you wanna get away
You wanna get away from this noisy crowd
Lets go where its nice and quiet
Where theres nobody, theres nobody else aroundLets sit by a cozy lit fire

And we can be in each others company
Now how does that sound to you?
You see, cause it sounds so good
It sounds so good to meCome on and go with me
Would you do that, baby?
Come on over to my place
Would you do that, baby?
Would you do that, baby?
Come on and go with me
Come on over to my placeMy cars right outside, we can leave right now
Thats if youre ready to go
I know youre just beatin me
You see, Id understand it
I'd understand it if you said no
But dont you do it, babyCome on and go with me, come on, baby
(No)
Come on over to my place
(No, not tonight, no)
You see its not far from here
(I believe you)Would you just take a minute and think about it?
(Oh, man)
Would you just think about it, think about it? Yeah
(Im thinkin about it but I really have to say no)Come on and go with me
Come on over to my place
(No, I know)
Youre sittin here, youve been sittin here for quite a long time
(Yeah, Im slightly bored, I hate bein bored)See, Ive been watchin you
(Ive been doin the same thing)

You look so nice and you look so sweet
(Oh, thank you)Come on and go with me
(That was sweet)
You look like you oughta be with me

(You said your car is right outside, right in front)
Come on, over to my place
(And youre gonna bring me home after)
But would it be all right with you?Come on and go with me
If we left here and we went somewhere else, baby
(Come on over to my place)
Somewhere where its nice and quiet, nice and quiet
(Thats nice, yeah, that sounds a little better than this place)
Where we could sit down by a cozy lit fire
We could sip a little wine, work things out
(Oh, yeah)Come on and go with me, work things out
(Well, I cannot stay long)
Come on over to my place
(We got an hour, no more than that)
Lady, you wont be under any kinda pressure
(Please, I cannot stand pressure)I wouldnt do that, baby? No
(Okay, well, would you get my coat?)
See, I wouldnt do that, baby
See, I just wanna sit down
And get to know you a little better
(Okay, just for a little while)I swear you look so good to me
(Are you gonna pay for my drink?)
Come on over to my place
You look so good to me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Theodore "Teddy" DeReese Pendergrass, Sr. (born March 26, 1950 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, died January 13, 2010) was an American Grammy nominated R&B soul singer-songwriter. Pendergrass' career began when he was a drummer for The Cadillacs, who soon merged with fellow soul band Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. After a stellar early 70s run including the Grammy-nominated hit If You Don't Know Me By Now, Teddy went solo in 1976. He released a total of fifteen solo studio albums including hits like Love T.K.O.. A car accident in 1982 damaged his spinal cord and left him paralyzed from the waist down with limited use of his arms.

His initial rise to stardom occurred under tutelage of producer's Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff on the then CBS subsidiary Philadelphia International in 1970. The Blue Notes had hits such as "I Miss You," "Bad Luck," "Wake Up Everybody," the two million seller "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and many more. Following personality conflicts between Melvin and Pendergrass, Pendergrass launched a solo career and released hit singles like "The More I Get the More I Want," "Close the Door," "I Don't Love You Anymore," "Turn Off the Lights" and others.

His first solo album was self titled Teddy Pendergrass (1977), followed by Life Is A Song Worth Singing (1978), Live! Coast To Coast and Teddy (1979), 1980's TP and the final Philadelphia International Records album It's Time For Love (1981). He also sang a duet with Whitney Houston on "Hold Me," from her self-titled debut album.

Teddy Pendergrass started singing gospel music in Philadelphia churches, becoming an ordained minister at ten years old. While attending public school, he sang in the citywide McIntyre Elementary School Choir and in the All-City Stetson Junior High School Choir. A self-taught drummer, Pendergrass had a teen pop vocal group when he was 15.

By his late teens, Pendergrass was a drummer for local vocal group the Cadillacs. In the late 60s, the Cadillacs merged with another more-established group, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. In 1970, when the Blue Notes broke up, Melvin, now aware of Pendergrass' vocal prowess, asked him to take the lead singer spot. It's no secret that Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff wanted Marvin Junior of the Dells for their Philadelphia International Records roster. Since the Dells were signed to Chess, they were unavailable. When the gruff'n'ready vocals of Pendergrass came their way, they eagerly signed the group.

Beginning with "I Miss You," a steady stream of hit singles flowed from the collaboration of Pendergrass and Gamble & Huff: "If You Don't Know Me By Now," "The Love I Lost," "Bad Luck," "Wake Up Everybody" (#1 R&B for two weeks in 1976), and two gold albums, To Be True and Wake Up Everybody.

Unfortunately, the more success the group had, the more friction developed between Melvin and Pendergrass. Despite the revised billing of the group, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes featuring Theodore Pendergrass, Pendergrass felt that he wasn't getting enough recognition. Around 1976, Pendergrass left Melvin's Blue Notes and formed his own Blue Notes, featuring Teddy Pendergrass. Briefly, there was some confusion as to which Blue Notes was which. The resolution came when Pendergrass disbanded his Blue Notes in favor of a solo career and Melvin's group signed a recording contract with Source Records, distributed through ABC Records, scoring a hit with "I Want to Be Your Lover."

Pendergrass signed a new contract with Philadelphia International Records sometime between late 1976 and early 1977. He burst back on the scene with Teddy Pendergrass, a platinum solo debut that included the top-notch singles "I Don't Love You Anymore," "You Can't Hide From Yourself," and "The More I Get the More I Want." Around this time, Pendergrass began to institute his infamous "Ladies Only" concerts. His next three albums went gold or platinum: Life Is a Song Worth Singing, Teddy, and Live! Coast to Coast. The hit single "Close the Door" was used in the film Soup for One, where Pendergrass had a minor role.

The singer received several Grammy nominations during 1977 and 1978, Billboard's 1977 Pop Album New Artist Award, an American Music Award for best R&B performer of 1978, and awards from Ebony magazine and the NAACP. He was also in consideration for the lead in the movie biopic The Otis Redding Story. The '70s ended, but Pendergrass kept racking up the hits. TP, his fifth solo album, went platinum in the summer of 1980 off the singles "Turn Off the Lights," "Come Go With Me," "Shout and Scream," "It's You I Love," and "Can't We Try." It's Time for Love gave Pendergrass another gold album in summer 1981, which included the hit singles "Love TKO" and "I Can't Live Without Your Love." However in the UK chart success was limited to a handful of singles peaking just short of the top 40. Amazingly "Love TKO" failed to even grace the top 100.

A 1982 car accident left Pendergrass paralyzed from the waist down and wheelchair-bound. After almost a year of physical therapy and counseling, Pendergrass returned to the recording scene, signing a contract with Elektra/Asylum in 1983. His ninth solo album, his Elektra/Asylum debut, Love Language went gold the spring of 1984. Philadelphia International issued two albums of unreleased tracks, This One's For You (1982) and Heaven Only Knows (1983). Other albums included Workin' It Back (1985), Joy (1988, whose title track stayed at #1 in the R&B charts for two weeks), and A Little More Magic (1993). The latter half of '90s found Pendergrass recording for the Surefire/Wind Up label. Truly Blessed (the name of an 1991 Elektra album) is the title of the autobiography Pendergrass co-authored with Patricia Romanowski.

Pendergrass passed away at age 59 on January 13, 2010 from complications following surgery for colon cancer.
