Well I’m looking for a woman
About five foot six
Who ain’t into glamour
She’s just into kicks
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who’s gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby
Don’t run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain’t got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love

Well I’m walking down the street
And my heart’s feeling heavy
Swaying with the beat
‘Cause I’m more than just ready
She’s looking at me
I can feel it in my bones
Step right on up
And I’ll be taking you home
Don’t turn away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain’t got no money
But I sure got a whole lot of love
A whole lot of love

Well I’m looking for a woman
Who’s looking for a man
Who’s looking for a time
Like she ain’t ever had
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who’s gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby don’t run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain’t got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love
