On The Hunt Lyrics

ON THE HUNT

I said, baby, mama, I don't know your name
but I said, baby, oh sugar, I can play your game.
Every night when we leave the hall, babe, I see you hangin' round.
You wanna ride in my black car, baby, wanna go uptown, yeah.

      I know who you are, baby,
      and I know what they call you, girl.
      Never put you down, baby,
      I'm just like you, baby, I'm on the hunt,
      ooh and every night I'm a huntin', baby.

I know, lady, people gonna talk about you and me
but let me say one thing, mama, oh sugar, I do as I please.
And if you wanna love me, baby, oh I'm your man
and all those high-falutin' society people, I don't care if they don't understand.

      I know who you are, baby,
      and I know what they call you, girl.
      I never put you down, baby,
      I'm just like you, baby, I'm on the hunt,
      ooh and every night I'm a huntin', baby.

My Daddy told me, baby, a long time ago:
there's a two things, son, there's a two things that you should know
and in these two things, baby, on you must take pride
and that's a horse, yeah, and a woman, yeah, oh both of them you ride,
oh soul sister.

      I know who you are, baby,
      and I know what they call you, girl.
      Never put you down, baby,
      I'm just like you, baby, I'm on the hunt.

      I know who you are, baby,
      and I know what they call you, girl.
      Never put you down, baby,
      I'm like you, I'm always huntin',
      ooh baby, I'm a huntin'.
