Womack, Bobby - (If You Want My Love) Put Something Down On It Lyrics






Lordy, Lord
Lordy, Lord
Hmmm Hmmm

[Bobby speaking:]
You know, on my side of town
When you wanted something
you had to put it in will call
And that same thing applies
to anyone that's looking for love
And that's why I'm tellin' you

[Singing:]
If you want my love -- baby --
Put something down on it
Put something down on it
I know you're sad and you're lonely
But you could use a little time on it
by puttin something down on it

I can tell by the look in your eye
you've been hurt by love before
But that's the price you have to pay
sometime's life is hard and rough
But you can't give up.
can't give up, can't give up

So, if you want this love un giving, honey
you gotta put something down on it
put something down on it
[background sings:] spend a little time on it
I know you're sad and you got to be lonely
spend a little time on it
spend a little time on it
Put something down on it

And oooh, sometimes temp is just a little to much
and with a touch a love -- how can ya give up
you see the roads of life is hard and rough
You might give in sometime
but you can't give up --

Whoaaa
[bridge:]
Be with me girl when my chips are down
'Cause tomorrow the whole thing
done turned around --
And I can remember
you were there -- when the chips were down
chips were down

Ohhh!!

If you want my love, honey
put something down it
put something down it
spend a little time on it

All ya gotta do, girl
ohhhh, ohhhh, baby
[background singing:] put something down it
put something down it
spend a little time on it

There's a thing called love
and it's has no boundary, right
[background singing:] put something down it
put something down it
spend a little time on it
It's Gotta be in your heart,
and not just in your mind baby
Ohhh baby
Awwww

You'll seek, and you shall find
yes you'll find, yes you'll find
in time in time

I think I'll make you my woman
cause I gotta whole lotta time
that I wanna use on it, baby
I like what you do to me girl
Awwww, Yeah
[background singing with Bobby:] put something down it
put something down it
spend a little time on it

All ya gotta do is
put something down on it -- Baby
Awwwww

    Did Rod Stewart steal the string part for "Do You Think I'm Sexy"?

    c.... ....

    damn nice strings. Love womack. How cool was he?

    c.... ....

    I thought the same thing! Rod is a crook...he started this sampling and no one knew about it...and blamed it on the rappers....Rod Stewart, stand up!

    c.... ....

    Yes. He also copied Taj Mahal, from Jorge Ben in it

  31. A.... C....

    bobby we love you, you're one of the greatest w/lots of talent & jams forever. RIP

  32. t.... c....

    RIP Bobby - Does anyone else think that this track MUST have been the basis for Rod Stewart's "do you think I'm sexy?" Listen to the drum and base line - if you speed it a bit. What a great loss! We will miss you Bobby.

    t.... c....

    @topeka cate  Look up: "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart on songfacts.com.  The trivia section will explain the details of which artists Rod Stewart stole musical material from (and the consequences too).

    t.... c....

    topeka cate yes this and yak mahal’s “ Jorge Ben” he mixed the two to make his song

    t.... c....

    It WAS! Rod Stewart was a massive fan and admitted he used this as inspiration. Stewart covered many R&B tracks throughout his career, his favourite singer is Sam Cooke

    t.... c....

    IT IS THE BASIS FOR ROD'S HIT...AINT GOTTA "THINK" ABOUT IT.

  33. E.... v....

    in 40 jr  zo spec

    A.... P....

    Yung Savage...love your comment.  As long as I acknowledge his genius its all good!

  38. T.... ....

    I will always love Bobby Womack he sings to my soul. He an "ole school" brother who we ladies can no longer find these days. During our time the brothers "talked" to the women and serenade us.  Bobby remind me of the days gone by never to recapture again.

  39. D.... I....

    Tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  40. J.... E....

    A true Soul warrior Bobby is after dealing with various health issues, in the last few yrs he has fought of pneumonia, prostate cancer & colon cancer, then suffered early signs of alzheimers when he couldnt even remember words of songs on stage, he said " how could i not even remember songs i wrote?" but a fighter bouces back & he has

  41. S.... C....

    Ha! Two people disliked this! Are they fucking retarded? BOOM!

  42. t.... ....

    What an incedible soul singer, the best after Sam Cooke IMO !

  43. S.... B....

    A British Musician stealing from another Black musician , what a surprise ... and take look at David Bowie's new Anti - Christian Video , another gift to America , but that's the plan ... has a nice Masonic Floor in video too . But there's no CONSPIRACY , CONSPIRACY , CONSPIRACY .....

  44. N.... P....

    Sounds so good I listen to him everyday!!

  45. T.... ....

    Love it!

  46. L.... P....

    Wonderful!!

  47. w.... ....

    You are right. It is Rod Stewart who stole from 2 songs to make "Da ya think I'm sexy". Bobby Womack never stole from Jorge Ben's "Taj Mahal". "If you want my love" and "Taj Mahal" are 2 different songs. My bad.

  48. J.... W....

    BOBBY WOMACK HAS WRITTEN OVER 400 SONGS, AND HE DOES NOT NEED TO BORROW ANYTHING FROM ANYBODY. HE STILL PACKS THEM IN WHERE EVER HE PERFORMS.

  49. F.... E....

    Rod stole the melody, it' a fact.
    There has been no deal or any agreement between Bobby Womack and Rod Steward

  50. A.... D....

    My lord, his voice is SUPERB!

  51. s.... ....

    This that shit right here!...Harlem, after hours spots...goin hard back in the day...shout out to BW!

  52. k.... ....

    Say IT!

  53. t.... ....

    Just love this song!!!

  54. g.... e....

    HE HAS THE VOICE-I COULD LISTEN TO HIM ALL DAY

  55. B.... R....

    Awesome, thats all I can say!

  56. W.... U....

    This is my Jam! bad ass base line. cheers mr womack!

  57. n.... ....

    @warrenginmartini I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this song. Whoa! Glad I'm not the only who picked up on it immediately. Must check out JORGE BEN'S TAJ MAHAL now :-)

  58. D.... D....

    @warrenginmartini Actually this song has nothing to do with Taj Mahal, Rod Stewart did plagiarize both songs, the riff from this song and the chorus from Taj Mahal. Just listen to both and see for yourself, this song is just this song.

  59. S.... C....

    What he said!
