Y'all ready?

Well, well can I get a witness

I wanna talk about something tonight, ooh



Everybody wants somebody

You can't show me a woman that don't want nobody

Everybody needs somebody and that's alright

But tonight you out there lookin' for somebody

But you'll never find nobody that will believe in

And love you like me baby and treat you

The way you wanna be treated



Mistakes, oh I made a few baby oh, but I'm not perfect, woman

Neither are you, babe, you'll never find nobody, hey

To give you all the stuff you need you know what that stuff is, babe

And Lord, and make love, ah just the way you like it baby

I give you head, oh but don't be mislead, babe

Oh, you need to remember what I taught you in bed, I showed you baby

Oh now you got me down on my knees baby, begging



I know your friends don't like me, but they ain't about nothing

They ain't got nothing they always tryin' to stab and start something

But before you leave you need to think about it baby

You know you doin' it wrong baby, oh and you about to see that babe

We come too far, we come too far to turn around baby

Oh I put too much in you little girl, hey, oh yeah



I know everybody wants somebody that makes sense

Everybody needs somebody and that's alright too

Oh but girl, tonight you out there lookin' for somebody

And that ain't no good you'll never find nobody that love you like me baby

And treat you, treat you, treat you the way a woman needs to be treated

Oh don't let your friends, don't let your friends ruin your home baby

They ain't got nothing they ain't got nothing

They send it home, send it home all alone



But before you leave, oh think, whoa, use your head girl

Oh you need to think baby, call your lover's

Call 'em off baby they like dogs, greedy like hogs

Yeah, yeah, oh, you better think

Think - The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers' 1970 track 'Think' stands as a quintessential example of their late-period funk and soul sound, characterized by lush string arrangements and a driving, rhythmic groove. Released during a time when the group was transitioning from their earlier Motown roots to a more mature, R&B-focused identity, the song exemplifies their signature blend of smooth vocals and intricate instrumentation. The recording features the distinctive harmonies that defined the Isley Brothers' legacy, capturing the essence of 1970s American soul music. As a staple of their discography, 'Think' remains a powerful representation of their ability to craft emotionally resonant tracks that balanced commercial appeal with artistic depth, solidifying their status as one of the most influential acts in the history of soul and funk.
