In The Mood

Robert Plant · The Principle of Moments [1983]

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood for a melody

I'm in the mood

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

If you want me to

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

If you want me to

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

I can make you dance - I can make you sing

If you want me to

Any little song that you want to sing

Little songs that you want to sing

Any song will do

Any little song that you want to sing

Little songs that you want to sing

It's up to you

Little songs that you want to sing

A little song that you want to sing

You're blue

I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood

I can write it on the door - I can put it on the floor

I can do anything that you want me for

If you want me to

I can do it right - I can do it wrong

'Cause a matter of fact it'll turn out to be strong

If you want me to
