Old Songs

[Chorus]

Old songs, old songs

Old records, and old memories

8 tracks, takin' it back

To, them old songs, olllld strong songs[Verse 1: Betty Wright]

When you're 35 or 40

And you chillin wit yo' shawty

Whatchu gon' listen to? Whatchu gon' listen to

If you ain't making nothin new?

If ya wanna just sample

Well I'm tellin you, ya gamble

You ain't even writing one strong song

You ain't even writing nothing to hold on

Late at night you wanna watch TV

Lean back and play a lil' Stevie (Stevie)

Play the music, play the music

Then you'll know why I'm talkin 'bout the[Chorus][Verse 2: Betty Wright]

When you get a little older

And your nights get a little bit colder

Whatcha gon' cuddle to? Whatcha gon' cuddle to?

Well it must be misty blue

Tell me what you got on yo' menu

Serve it up, I know that it's in you

Serve it up, serve it up

Serve it up serve it up serve it up

Listen to the music that made you

Tune in to what yo' mama played ya

Time to celebrate, time to create before, it's too late

Oh, go to your favorite place (Go to your favorite place)

Speakers bumpin, bumpin that bass (Speakers bumpin that bass)

Slow dance and what do they play?

Betty and Teddy all up in yo' face![Chorus][Rap verse: Betty Wright]

I must admit yo' beats got fatter

But add subject matter on subjects that matter...

'Cause it matters, yeah it matters...[Outro: Betty Wright]

[The chorus is sung in background until the end of the song]

Hmmmm-mmmm

Patti, Gladys, Chaka Khan, Prince

And Kelly, and Kelly, and Kelly, and Kelly...

...

Mary Mary, you blossom like cherries, I've seen your garden grow

Hey, Erykah, little sista

I'm feelin ya, Badu, Badu Badu and..

Angie, C'MON Stone! Keep on writin and singin dem strong songs, ohh

India.Arie, keep singin and playin for me

Talk about that sweet tea and your sweetie

Just, keep singing those songs

Raheem and Jaheim and The-Dream and the whole team

Just take me on back to those STRONG songs

Joe and Mario and Ne-Yo and ohhh

Keep on writing and singing them strong songs

Just keep on listenin to Marvin, Aretha, The Isleys and them O'Jays

So you'll know what to say and you'll know what to play
