Phyllis Hyman Riding The Tiger

(N. M. Walden/J. Cohen/D. Simmons)

Ooooh...

[Tarzan Yell]

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Hey! You wanna ride?
(purrs)

Riding the tiger
Mess with me, you'll fall in love
I said that you're riding the tiger
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough?

Said, don't riding the tiger
Mess with me, you'll fall in love, baby
Riding the tiger
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough?

Do you burn in the night?
Ahh, don't tangle with me
Could you put up a fight?
I'm not afraid to be free
Do you grin when you bite?
Jump off, and you'll see
Ooh...

Did you know where you've been?
I got a hunk every day
Is a pleasure of sin?
Gonna make you my prey
Can you tell when you win?
I don't let nothing stand in my way
Ha, ha! Whoo!

Sometimes it said love it taste so sweet
May knock you off your feet
If you can't stand the heat,
I said to get off my back, oh!

Riding the tiger
Mess with me, you'll fall in love
I said, don't riding the tiger
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough?

Riding the tiger
Mess with me, you'll fall in love, ha, ho
Riding the tiger
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough?
Hey, babe, yeah

Do you strike out a home?
I was only thirteen
Keep you stand on your own
I made a jungle machine
Can they leave you alone?
Man, they made me a Queen
Oh, ohhh

Can you snatch when you're mad?
I can say what I do
Are you good when you're bad?
My emotions are true
Here's the best that you had
Hold on, and it might just be you, you
Whoa, oh, oh

Sometimes it said love it taste so sweet
May knock you off your feet
If you can't stand the heat,
Owww!
Get off my back, whoo!

Riding the tiger
Mess with me, you'll fall in love, oh, oh
Riding the tiger, ha!
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough?

Ohhh, riding the tiger
Mess with me, you'll fall in love, ho, ho
Riding the tiger
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough?

I said, don't riding (oh-oh-oh)
Ride... (oh-oh-oh)
[Tarzan Yell]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

I move vividly
From the shadows of the trees
In the forest of rain
You'll feel the fear in my name
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Sometimes it said love it taste so sweet
May knock you off your feet
If you can't stand the heat,
I said to get off my back

Oh, riding the tiger
Mess with me, you'll fall in love
I said, riding the tiger
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough? (Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Riding the tiger (oh-oh-oh-aaa, aaa)
Mess with me, you'll fall in love, yea-ea, yeah
Riding the tiger (whoa)
Are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Are you red enough?

Ohhhhhhhhh! (riding the tiger)
No, don't riding
Said don't riding with my lo-o-ove
Riding the tiger
Are you, are you red enough? (Are you red enough?)
Ohhhhhh ohhhh-ohhhhhhhhh
Riding the tiger
Said don't riding the tiger
