Betty Wright and The Roots - Old Songs

Ooh wooh ooh
Ooh
Ooh ooh oohhhhh
Hey

Old songs
Old songs
Old records and old memories
Eight tracks
Takin' 'em back to the old songs
Old strong songs

Takin' 'bout them
Old songs
Old songs
Old records and old memories
Eight tracks
Takin' 'em back to the old songs
Old strong songs

When you're thirty five
or fourty
When you're chilin'
with your shawty
What you gonna listen to
What you gonna listen to
If you ain't makin' nothin' new
You ain't even writing
One strong song
You ain't even writing
Nothing to hold on
Late at night
You wanna watch TV
Lean back
and play a little Stevie
Play the music
Play the music
And you'll know why I'm
Talkin' 'bout that

Old songs
Old songs
Old records and old memories
Eight tracks
Takin' 'em back to the old songs
Old strong songs

When you get
A little older
And your nights
Get a little bit colder
What you gonna cuddle to
What you gonna cuddle to
Well it must be Misty Blue
Tell me what
You got on your menu
Serve it up
And know that it's in you

Serve it up
Serve it up
Serve it up
Serve it up
Serve it up

Listen to
The music that made you
Tune into
What your mamma played you
Time to celebrate
Time to create before
It's too late
Oh
Go to your favorite place
Speakers bumpin'
Bumpin' tha bass
Slow dance What do they play
Any old
Any old bump in your face
Slow dance
What do they play
Any old
Any old bump in your face

Old songs
Old songs

I must admit
Your beats got fatter
But add subject matter
on subjects that matter
'Cause it matters
Yeah it matters

Eight tracks
Takin' 'em back to the old songs
