Lyrics If It's Love You Want, Baby That's Me - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

If It's Love You Want, Baby That's Me

If you like a guy with gold, don’t care if he’s young or old
It’s the sense you’re barking up the wrong tree, but if you wanna get
your kicks from the boy who knows the tricks
If it’s love you want, baby, that’s me If you want a guy with class who’s way above the mass
Well, I’m not the right person obviously
But if you want to get that glow from a cat that’s in the know
If it’s love you want, baby, that’s me So take your time and think it over, don’t do anything that’s rash
Don’t go for a guy with flash, cause love will last longer than cash
If you want a streamlined car or a handsome movie star
I’m not the right type, I must agree
But if you fell like getting sent form a truly righteous gent
If it’s love you want, baby, that’s me Now I don’t claim to be the kind you’d love on sight
Yet it has been done and who knows, you might
But I’m a past master of making love with a technique all my own
So if it’s love you want, baby, let’s go home
When they wrote the dictionary and they wanted to know about love
It was me that Mr. Webster and all those fellas were thinking of Cause I put the L in love and the X in ecstasy
So if it’s love you want, baby, that’s me
I’ve made love in San Francisco sitting on the Golden Gates
And I’m known from coast to coast in all 48 states
I’ve got all lovers confused tryin' to learn the methods I use
So if it’s love you want, baby, that’s me My father was a lover way before my time
The method he used was that old outdated kind
The technique I use would run him right out of his mind
So if it’s love you want, baby, that’s me So take your time and think it over
Don’t do anything that’s rash
Don’t go for a guy with flash, cause love will last longer than cash
If you want a guy with class who’s way above the mass
Well, I’m not the right person obviously
But if you want to get that glow from a cat that’s in the know
If it’s love you want, baby, that’s me
