Whatcha Gonna Do
Smokey Robinson · Other Songs - Smokey Robinson
With those beautiful fingers
When you stroke me like that
I get a thrill that lingers
Even after you take
Your hands away
The feel of your touch
Seems to stay and stay
Feels like the touch of love to me baby
The look in your eyes
Makes me wonder what you have in mind
I'm really anxious to find out
Whatcha gonna do, to me, with you
Whatcha gonna do
With those beautiful lips
Just watching you talk sometimes
Sends me on trips
I'm looking right at you,
But I don't hear what your sayin'
Cause I'm mesmorized by you're beautiful mouth
And my mind is strayin'
Sounds like you're talking love
(sounds like you're talking love)
To me baby (to me baby)
No matter what you might be talking about
I can't wait to find out
Whatcha gonna do, to me, with you
All you need is
What you got and
You got so many assets
That make my blood run hot
To me you're as good as it gets
Hey hey baby baby
Whatcha gonna do
With a body so fine
Will you hold it against me
If I say I want you for mine
Feels like you wanna be with me baby
Got me anticipating and waiting for whats in store
Don't make me wait anymore
(don't make me wait anymore)
Do what you wanna
Do what you feel
(do what you feel)
Do anything baby
(do it, do it, do it)
As long as it's real
(do it do it do it do it do it)
(do it do it do it do it do it)
Do it now baby
(now)
Do it now baby
(do it now)
Whatcha gonna do, to me, with you
Do it baby, do it baby
Please do it
(please)
Please do it to me
(please do it to me)
Come on baby
(come on, come on)
Do it
(come on, come on)
Whatcha Gonna Do
