Lyrics:

(sung)
When that fire starts to burning
Deep down inside of you
When that love wheel starts to turning
There ain't nothing left to do

But find an all the way lover
Got to be an all the way, all the way, all the way lover, yeah

Don't start something you can't finish
Frustration ain't no fun
Halfway lovin' just don't get it
Stay there till the job is done

And be an all the way lover
You got to be an all the way, all the way, all the way lover, yeah

Ain't no sense in doin' nothing
If you're going to do it wrong
'Pretty good' ain't good enough
You gotta get down to the bone

And be an all the way lover
You got to be an all the way, all the way, all the way lover, yeah

(spoken)
When I speak of an all the way lover, I'm not only referrin' to the men, 'cause some of you women ain't shit either. Sit up on your butts all day long, do absolutely nuthin' but watch one soap opera after another one. 'The Love Of Life', 'Search For Tomorrow'! You will be searchin' for tomorrow alright, when these other women snatch yo' man and go on about their business. And in case you missed one, well get on the phone and call Long Distance to find out what happened! You be, 'Oh, child, did you see 'All My Children' today? Oh, what did Miss Tyler do, oh, honey, what did Erica do today?' I'd Erica yo' ass, alright

And if you're not watching TV, on the telephone gossipin', tellin' your business. You say [?], 'Oh, honey, my old man sho did put a killin' on me last night, oh it sho was good!' And yo' girlfriend be sittin up talkin' about, 'Oh?' Cause she really didn't think the ***** could do nuthin. And now you done told her how good it is, she wants to go over and test it out for herself. Done blew your shit. Just messing around gossipin, done blew your thing

If not that, when your man get in, feelin' in a good and lovely mood, wants to get down, put some good lovin' on you for real, you be talkin' about, 'oh, no, I went to the beauty shop today child, you can't be runnin' your fingers through my hair and messin' up my curls, I got my hair done!' Couldn't get his fingers through most of your hair if he want to, as nappy as it is

(sung)
It's a cryin' shame
Lord down dirty shame, yeah
And I'm feelin' bitchy, I'm feelin' bitchy 'bout it, yeah

(spoken)
In fact, if I was some of these men, I'd just go out and get me a sissy and call it a day and forget about it. And I wanna tell you guys something; you don't have to worry about AB if you decide to do that, now. Cause she got enough problems of her own, she gonna go out and commit suicide when she find out that Orange Bird got a break in his wing, too!

(sung)
Woo-hoo-hoo, yeah
Got to be an all the way, all the way lover, yeah
I'm tellin' you right now, you women need to be
An all the way, all the way
Yeah, women need to learn to be all the way lovers, yeah

(spoken)
But wait a minute, don't get mad at me. I can understand why some of you go through these changes. Havin' a man like some of you got, is enough to make you go through some weird changes. You go to the beauty shop and get in that chair, yo man in there gettin' his hair fixed. He cuter than you. Think you're too cute to get down. He might mess up his curls, too. Ain't no more sweatin' in the bedroom, that's completely out. He layin' up there with two strokes goin' for him; up, and down. Ain't ever heard of a curve unless it was on a ball field

(sung)
Talkin' 'bout an all the way, all the way lovers, yeah

(spoken)
Only I can't find none to talk about, heh, tryin' to find some. And you really want to get one of 'em mad? Why would you one of them nights, when he think he's doing somethin', while he got you layin' there lying, talkin' 'bout how good it is 'cause you know the rent is due and he must pay it - why don't you look at him and really get him upset, sayin'

(sung)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down tonight

(spoken)
And if he acts like he don't know what you talkin' about, look at him again. And be very frank and says, 'Get on down and par-tay'. Mind you, I said 'par-tay', not 'par-tee'. 'Par-tay'

(sung)
Get all the way down!
They gotta be an all the way lover, yeah!

(spoken)
See, most men don't want to own up to par-tayin! But most of 'em do. Even though they wife don't know it

(sung)
You gotta get down, all the way down, yeah
You gotta learn to be an all the way lover, yeah
Cause I got me an all the way
Right now, I got me an all the way lover, yeah!

(spoken)
No kissy on the belly button and stoppin' there!

(sung)
You gotta be an all the way lover, yeah
Oo-hoo, uh-huh, let's get on now, woo! uh, uh-huh

(spoken)
I, I-I-I think you better hold it right there, uh, gettin' a girl nervous here

(sung)
I like an all the way, all the way, all the way lover yeah!

(spoken)
(stutters) How about just, goin' to the kneecap or something? I don't know if I can stand this, oo, I thought I was, oo, Lord, I thought I could take this, uh uh uh, woo! ow! Lord have mercy. Stop there. You better stop there! (giggle), oh, oo, Jesus Christ

(sung)
All the way, all the way, all the way lover, yeah. (fades)
