Groovin' Time - Otis Redding

It’s groovin' time

That’s what my baby told me

If you can’t groove me, boy

You might as well let me be

It’s lovin' time

That’s what my baby told me

If you can’t love me, boy

You might as well let me be

Now, she said she don’t want me hangin' in the street, now

Don’t want me goin' down seein' old Pete, now

Hangin' out on Broadway is not her stick, now

Stayin' up late at night is not her kick, now

Wants me to tease her all the time, now

Wants me to love her later in the night, now

That’s what she told me

If you can’t do it, boy

You might as well let me be

Baby, it’s groovin' time

That’s what my baby told me

If you can’t groove me, boy

You might as well let me be

Said she don’t want me shootin' no pool

Runnin' in the street actin' like a doggone fool

Said she just want me to stay at home, now

Just tend to my business, leave other people alone, now

Said she don’t want me hangin' in them nightclubs

All them Broadway funky, funky nightclubs

That’s what she told me

If you can’t do it, boy

You might as well let me be

It’s groovin' time

That’s what my baby told me

If you can’t groove me, boy

You might as well let me be

I said, said now, it’s groovin' time

I got to get with my baby now

It’s groovin' time

I gotta get back home to the little girl

I said she wanna groove me, yeah

I know she wanna groove, yeah
