I Second That Emotion

José Feliciano · Other Songs - José Feliciano

Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet

But only for one night with no repeat.

And maybe you'll go away and never call,

And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.

Oh little girl!



In that case I don't want nobody

I do believe that that would only break my heart

Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me

If you got the notion,

I second that emotion.

So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion

I second that emotion.



Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down

And you don't have the time to hang around.

Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,

And so it makes you wise to break the rules.

Oh little girl!



In that case I don't want nobody

I do believe that that would only break my heart

Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me

If you got the notion,

I second that emotion.

So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion

I second that emotion.



In that case I don't want nobody

I do believe that that would only break my heart

Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me

If you got the notion,

I second that emotion.

So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion

I second that emotion.
