Lyrics:

I. Backdoor love affair

[Verse 1]
Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you don't care
Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you don't care
Any way you want it
Settle for a backdoor love affair

II. Mellow down easy

[Chorus 1]
Jump, jump here, jump, jump there
Jump, jump, baby, everywhere
Don't you mellow down easy
Babe, you got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy, babe
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy when you really want to blow your top

[Chorus 1][x2]
Shake, shake here, shake, shake there
Shake, shake, baby, everywhere
Don't you mellow down easy
Babe, you got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy, babe
Don't you mellow down easy
Got to mellow down easy
Don't you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy when you really want to blow your top

III. Backdoor love affair no.2

[Chorus 2][x3]
Baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, yes I do, yes I do
Oh, baby baby baby baby, don't you want a man like me?
Uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh
Oh, I give you loving by the daytime
Night time you could take good care of me

IV. long distance boogie

[Verse 2]
Is everybody feeling good? You making us feel good, too!
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone
And I called my mama
I said, mama, this is your boy, and I'm way down here in
New Orleans, Louisiana
And she said, that's all right, boy
And she turned to my papa and she said
'papa, our boy's way down there in New Orleans
We cannot let him stay out all night long
She did!
Long about that time, I heard my papa lean toward my mama
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie
He said, it's in him and it's got to come out
So I went downtown
There's a lot of people there
They was-a really having a ball
And I felt so good

[Outro]
Yes, I felt so good[x6]
Boogie, children![x2]
