Otis Redding

Otis Ray Redding, Jr. (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967) was an American singer and songwriter, record producer, arranger, and talent scout. Considered one of the major figures in soul music and rhythm and blues, and one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music, his singing style influenced other soul artists of the 1960s, and he helped to craft the short-living and powerful style of R&B that formed the basis of the Stax Sound.

It's groovin' timeâ??that's what my baby told me 
If you can't groove me, boy, you might as well let me be 
It's lovin' timeâ??that's what my baby told me 
If you can't love me, boy, you might as well let me be 
Now, she said she don't want me hanging in the street 
Don't want me going down seeing old Pete 
Hanging out on Broadway is not her stick 
Staying up late at night is not her kick 
Wants me to tease her all the time 
Wants me to love her later in the night 
That's what she told me 
If you can't do it, boy, you might as well let me be 
Baby, it's groovin' time, that's what my baby told me 
If you can't groove me, boy, you might as well let me be 
Said she don't want me shootin' no pool 
Running in the street, acting like a dog-gone fool 
Said she just want me to stay at home 
Just tend to my business, leave other people alone 
Said she don't want me hanging in them nightclubs 
All them Broadway funky, funky nightclubs 
That's what she told me 
If you can't do it, boy, you might as well let me be 
It's groovin' time, that's what my baby told me 
If you can't groove me, boy, you might as well let me be
