99 and a half won't do


I got to have all your love
Both night and day, oh yeah
Not just a little part, but all of your heart
Oh yes, I do, child

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do

No, ain't gonna get it, no, no
Don't be led in the wrong direction (oh no)
Start this thing, a man needs a little love and affection
Oh yes, he do, child

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do (whoa)

Just won't get it (no, no)
We got to bring it all down
And start getting right, oh yes we do now, child
Stop messin' around

And keep things up tight

Oh, yeah

We got to realize that ninety-nine and a half just won't do

No, got to have a hundred, oh yeah
Got to have a hundred (no)
Ain't no use in foolin' ourselves, honey
We ain't gonna be able to get by on ninety-nine

No, got to have a hundred
Lord have mercy
Just won't do no

Baby

It just won't do, now
