Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is

I love Randy Newman, but Etta James just killed this.  Laid it flat out on the floor, smiling. 



Agree with both sentiments!

Ah! Now I understand where Lenny Kravitz got his "My Mama Said" riff...

The difference between this and the original Randy Newman is a testament to a singer's power.

Perfect version for the  feminism movement . 



What feminism movement?  Dylan Mulvaney? Men competing in women's sports?

The intro to this made me think that we need to hear more Robert Palmer here.

Such a great (and I think generally misunderstood) song. Nothin' beats Etta's screams.
