For us to do and see
Let's take some time to be alone
Lock the door
Pull out the phone, yeah
And baby we can do it
Take the time
Do it right
We can do it, baby
Do it tonight
Baby, we can do it

We had ate a quaalude earlier in the day and we had SOS blastin on the radio- it dosent get any better. LOL

Can't stop playing this, one of my TOP100 best souls tracks of the early 80's. Pure genius in harmony and use of winds, guitars and keyboards. For some reason, they don't come up with these melodies that cheer you up but also contain quality in music writing. Twelve incher sounds amazing. One of my favourite 12 inchers.
