Dionne Warwick - Got A Date Lyrics






Got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, I can't wait
It's paradise, in his eyes
Ooh, my-my, sure is fine, what a guy (What a guy)

I met a boy last night
Finer than any other
He's got close to me
Now he wants to be my lover

He's got a brand new love, huh
Fresher than a day of spring
I know together we, ooh
Could really have a super thing, whoa, whoa

Got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, I can't wait
It's paradise, in his eyes
Ooh, my-my, sure is fine, what a guy (What a guy)

He's got an SEL, ooh
I need to give him TLC
And in his penthouse suite
Is where he really loves to meet

He's a king of hearts
And I get lost when we're apart
He really rocks me down, ooh
When he brings his love around, oh, hey, hey

Got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, I can't wait
It's paradise, in his eyes
Ooh, my-my, sure is fine, what a guy (what a guy), oh

Got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, I can't wait
It's paradise, in his eyes
Ooh, my-my, sure is fine, what a guy

I'm gonna take my time, dress up tonight
We're gonna really rock the town
I've got to tell you it's gon' take a very long time
To pick up what we throw down

Get it on (Ooh), get it on (It's gonna be)
It's gon' be so sexy goin' (Good)
To the roof we're hangin' out today (Yeah, yeah)
Tell the truth, get out the way (Got a date)

Up on Boogie Street, ooh
Is where the fancy people meet
He's gonna take me there
I know the dress I've got to wear

Hey, Mr. Taximan, come on
Take me at a super speed, yeah
To his penthouse suite, ooh
And then take us to Boogie Street, oh, oh

Got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, I can't wait
It's paradise in his eyes
Ooh, my-my, sure is fine, what a guy (What a guy), ooh

Got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, I can't wait
It's paradise in his eyes
Ooh, my-my, sure is fine, what a guy (What a guy), oh

Got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, I can't wait
It's paradise in his eyes
Ooh, my-my, sure is fine, what a guy (What a guy)

Well, I've got a date, can't be late
Ooh, my-my, with my guy, can't wait
It's paradise in his eyes...

Dionne Warwick Got A Date Comments
  1. K.... H....

    Rupaul’s Drag Race really needs to have this as a lip sync!

  2. 7.... ....

    First time hearing this. I never knew Dionne did an album in '83. Niiice.

  3. T.... K....

    Yaaaassss The Luther Touch!!!

  4. G.... A....

    "How Will I Know" seems patterned somewhat after this song

  5. M.... M....

    LUTHER VANDROSSSSSSSS

  6. N.... ....

    I believe "Got A Date" is roughly the same / radio and long play. ext, of course is "ext."

  7. N.... ....

    I'll bet you all would blast into the morning sun. The early half of the 1980s, they seem like Great memories. The way you feel about '83 is similarly the way I feel about '03. Times pace is a little frightening. "Now" is absolutely everything. It all goes by so fast. .

    Also, this tune reminds me of a Barry White production too~

  8. d.... ....

    Well this is definately a Luther Vandros production, along with " I do it cause I like it"
    Love this

  9. E.... Z....

    this song is just too too amazing love it

  10. D.... K....

    love her haircut on this picture

  11. D.... ....

    They played this track in the discos in 1983. The dance floor would be packed on this one ! Great memories.

  12. d.... ....

    I do it cause i like it was hot! Baby i do it cause i like it. i could hear it right now.

  13. d.... ....

    I remember this song like it was yesterday. still got this album on vinyle.

    making this album with Dionne was a dream come true for the late great Luther Vandros.

    these are songs that he would sing i could hear his vocals on these songs now.

    this needs an update remix hot club mix Hex Hector remix.

  14. e.... ....

    I remember when Dionne appeared on Soul Train singing this song.

  15. b.... ....

    I'm kicking myself for letting this album go.

  16. J.... F....

    I'm so glad someone finally posted this! This song got a lot of airplay on Kiss 108 in Boston....I thought it was great at the time. Sounds a bit dated now...but it was nice to hear Dionne doing the club sound! Thanks again for posting this.

  17. r.... ....

    i havent heard this before its very different.have you heard dionne warwick i didnt mean to love you its a lovely song.

  18. k.... ....

    Always liked this track. Dionne truly rocked this one out. And Luther's production is just plain thick. Awesome.

  19. N.... R....

    The guitar licks are from Peter Frampton...I think!! I have to check my 'album' linear notes! By the way check out Dionne other albums from this era, she does do some great uptempo things on those as well!!!
