Love's Contagious Lyrics


Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me
You're not the first one, you're not the last one
You're not even the in between
You've got the power, this is your hour
You crawl through Harlem on your hands and knees
It's not the way you look
The way you walk and the color of your hair
It's not the way you look
The way you talk and the color of your hair
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me
Well, there is something I feel about you
A feelin' that just won't let go

Well, in an hour, you have the power
The power of love over me
It's not the way you look
The way you walk and the color of your hair, no
It's not the way you look
The way you talk and the color of your hair
Then you threw it away, you threw it all away
As you walked right out the door
You threw it away, you threw it all away
As you walked right out the door
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
It's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me

Tarrus Riley born Omar Riley in Bronx, New York, is a promising reggae singer and songwriter. His early years were spent in music studios and traveling the world with his dad. He picked up something special along the way. He is a songwriter of uncommon intelligence, breadth with a deft touch. His emotional and spiritual IQ matches his heartfelt sincerity. As a singer, his vocal style is reassuring. It conveys his every mood, concern and context eloquently. His songwriting is bold, yet definitive, passionate and authentic, without being strident or overly militant. Except for the same surname, Tarrus, while clearly not possessing his famous father's voice with its sharp edge, is content musically to create his own legacy.
------------------------------------
Riley is the son of veteran singer Jimmy Riley and nurse Lavern Tatham-Riley. He was born in the Bronx and grew up in South Florida. He began his musical career as a deejay working with Busta Rhymes, taking his birth sign as his stage name at his mother's suggestion (the spelling later changed from Taurus to Tarrus), and recorded his first singles for his father's Love & Promotion label. He was guided in his early career by Dean Fraser, who also performs in his band and produces much of Riley's work.
Riley has released three albums, Challenges (2004), Parables (2006), and Contagious (2009). Contagious features guest appearances from Damian Marley, Vybz Kartel, Etana, Konshens, Demarco and Duane Stephenson. His commercial breakthrough came in 2006 with the Parables album and the Jamaican number one single "She's Royal".

Riley was awarded the Reggae Runnins Caribbean Heritage Award at the 2009 HOT 105 FM Caribbean-American Heritage Awards. He was nominated in the Best Reggae category of the 2009 MOBO Awards.
