[Intro]
See, they don't know nothing
They don't know nothing
All this stuff been wound over and redone, it's alright
I'm glad they're getting there
I've been in this business for a long, long time and even I didn't know where the music is going for a while
And I was saying, "When are they gonna find that magic?
When is the music gonna get back to simple and basic?"
'Cause I wanna go back to a time when the music touched your heart and your soul and your mind and your body
I wanna go back to a time when there were blue lights in the basement
Y'all know what I'm talking about
I wanna go back to a timе when slow dancing was still in style
And when you got out on thе dance floor, you touched your partner
You didn't have to look for him
I want to go back to a time when the music made you feel like you wanted to fall in love
And you want to drive up to Look Out Mountain and still have enough mystery in it not to tell what you did when you got there
I wanna go back to a time when the music was one
'Cause a part of my life sent me to the prom with my prom skirt on
Even if I did drive myself
I wanna go back
I wanna go find these people that made that kind of music, you know
And I just wanna tell them thank you
Thank you for giving us romance and mystery
I wanna find Nat King Cole and Billy Eckstine and Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and the Four Tops and the Temptations and The Pips
I wanna find them and I wanna just walk up to them and say
"You did it! You found that magic!"
I just wanna, I wanna touch old Teddy Pendergrass
And I wanna tell him thank you for saying...
