Teddy Pendergrass.
It's almost impossible not to pay attention when you hear him sing, His voice resonates across the room you're in. It commands you to listen as he powers his way in his delivery. Yet, he can be as wooing and as suave as they come. He shifts his tone from command to allure. Be swept away.
With hits like, " When Somebody Loves You Back."," Love TKO." "Close The Door", "Wake Up Everybody.", " and Turn Off the Lights." and many more.
We'll look at, "Turn Off the Lights." This song is done in real slow dance mood. The music plays mostly in the background as Teddy delivers with conviction. Imagine when listening to this song, you hear a man whispers, "Turn Off the lights and light a candle." Then roars, "I want to love you all over and over and over." Enjoy.

Turn Off the Lights
Turn off the lights and light a candle.
Tonight, I'm in a romantic mood, yeah.
Let's take a shower, said shower together, yes.
I'll wash your body and you'll wash mine, yeah.
Rub me down in some hot oils, baby.
And I'll do the same thing to you.
Just turn off the lights, come to me
Girl, I wanna give you a special treat, you're so sweet.
Turn off the lights, let's get cozy.
See, you're the only one in the world that I need.
I wanna love you, love you all over, yeah.
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Whisper sweet words of, of love in your ear
Show you how much I missed you, missed you my dear
Turn 'em off and come to me.
You see tonight I'm in a sexy mood, mood baby.
And light a candle.
Girl, there's something I, something I, something I, something I, wanna do to you baby.
Ye, I do
Would you mind if I asked you to?
Would rub me down.
Would you rub me down?
Would you rub me down, in some, in some burning hot oils, baby?
Yeah
I swear I'll return the same thing.
The same thing to you, baby
Turn 'em off and let's get cozy.
I wanna give you a special treat. for being so sweet.
Turn 'em off, come closer.
You're the only one in this whole
wide world that I'll ever need.
Turn 'em off and light a candle.
You see there's something I, something I, something I, something I, something I
wanna do to you baby.
I'm lying here, just waiting, my dear
You can get what you want anytime you want.
I'm lying here, waiting my dear
Come and get what you need and give me what I need.
(Tell me what you want to do)
(Tell me what you want to do, baby)
Yeah (Tell me ...)
Anything that you want (Tell me...) ...
