Lyrics Timing - Ashford & Simpson

Timing

I wanna be hot, I wanna be bad
I wanna be someone you wish you had
I wanna be perfect, I wanna be loved
Be something special in this world
(World, whoa, woo, hoo)
I wanna be bold, I wanna be tough
Be sensitive, but not too much (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I wanna have friends, I wanna have fun
In the crowd, you're number one
(Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

There's a minus and a plus, and somewhere in the middle
To get what you want, here's the secret to the riddle

Timing, is everything
Timing, hoo, is everything

I wanna be cool, I wanna be kind
More than both, have a mystic mind (Yeah, oh yeah)
I wanna have heart, I wanna have pride
Someone standing by my side (I wanna have it, yeah)
I wanna be bold, I wanna have taste
On the A-list, and in the right place
(Hey, hey, ooh, alright)
I want liberation, fortune and fame
Go to The Ritz where they know my name
(You know it, oh, ho, ho)

There's a minus and a plus, and somewhere in the middle
To get what I want, here's the secret to the riddle

Timing, ooh, oh-ho, is everything, ooh-hoo
Timing, ooh, you know, is everything
Timing is everything, everything, oh-oh, oh-oh
Timing, hee-hee-hee, you know, is everything, oh

Hey, oh

Timing, oh yeah, woo, is everything
(You know, you know)
Timing, ooh, put it on one, woo, good God, is everything
(Oh yeah, ooh)
Timing, ooh, is everything, everything, oh-oh, oh-oh
Timing, you know, ooh, is everything
(Come help me sing it)

Timing, timing (Put it on two, ooh) is everything
(I can keep on trying)
Timing, timing
(Watch the way you move, keep it in the groove, woo)
Is everything (Everything, everything, ow)
Say it, say it, say it, is everything, oh yeah, yeah
Timing, ooh baby, is everything
Timing, ooh, get it right is everything (Everything, everything)
Timing, timing, is everything (Everything, everything, ooh)
Timing
