The Isley Brothers - Contagious

[Verse 1]
It's 2 A.M. I'm just getting in about to check my message
No one has called but my homies and some bill collectors
Cellular rings, somebody wants to borrow money
I two-way her she don't hit me back something is funny
So I called her mother's house and asked her has she seen my baby
Roll my six around looking for that missing lady
Got back in turned the TV on and caught the news
Then I put my hand on my head cause I'm so confused
And then I turned the TV down
Cause I thought I heard a squeaky sound
Somethings going on upstairs
And I know nobody else lives here
"bump bump bump" as I get closer to the stairways all I hear
Then I hear my baby's voice in my ear screaming out....

[Chorus]
You're contagious, touch me baby, give me what you got
(and then a man said)
Sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(And I just can't believe this shit)

[Verse 2]
I ran downstairs looked in the closet looking for that ooo
Said a prayer cause only God knows what I'm gonna do
What I saw was enough to drive a Preacher wild
I'm in the hall contemplating "not in my own damn house"
Who would have thought she was creeping with another man?
The down low happening to me all over again
And then I turned the TV down
Cause I know I heard a squeaky sound, something going on upstairs
Cause I know no one else lives here
"Bump bump bump" as I get closer to the stairways all I hear
Then I hear my babies voice in my ear screamin'....
