I got chills
They're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying!

You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to do

You're the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes, indeed

If you're filled
With affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up
'Cause you need a man
I need a man
Who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up
If I'm gonna prove
You better prove
That my faith is justified
Are you sure?
Yes I'm sure down deep inside

[3x]
You're the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes, indeed

Ha ha....this one made me stop and wonder what exactly I was listening to.  (I was 11 years old when this movie was released & still have most of the soundtrack memorized).  This is one of the reasons why I love Radio Paradise.  You never know what you may hear.

This is an excursion from the RP rating spectrum.  I would rate it as something orthogonal to the line.  Somewhere out in the meeting of deeply disturbing and incredibly intriguing.  Where gravity meets quantum mechanics for tea.

Well, it got me into the comments section… and not to leave nice words. Just so long as we only hear it once every decade that’ll be fine thanks.



I'm not certain what your complaint is. I assume the song crafted was personal, that it was played to  the best of their abilities, and engineered well. I think it deserves at least a 7.

This is great! But I have to admit it makes me want to hear the energy of the original.

Hated the movie, the soundtrack and the fact that it is still around 40+ years later.

I just can not grasp this one. The original song was never a favourite.

Very seldom do I truly dislike a song to the point I'm absolutely disgusted with it. This is the one.
The original is fun and fine and certainly did not need covering. 
I rarely "PSD" but here we go...
Where's the vomit emoji.  A well deserved 1.
