Girl, I've been watching youFrom so far across the floor now babyThat's nothing newI've watched you so many times before now babyI see that look in your eyesAnd what it's telling meAnd you know girl that I'm not shyI'm glad you picked up on my telepathy now baby
You read my mindGirl I wanna shake you downI could give you all the loving you needCome on let me take you downWe'll go all the way to heaven
Oh, I've been missing youAnd the way you make me feel insideWhat can I do?I can tell you've got your pride now babyCome to me, well, wellLet me ease your mind, oh babyI got the remedy, yes I doNow give me just a little time
Girl, I've been missing youAnd you know it's funnyEvery time I get to feeling this wayI wish I had you near me, II wanna reach out and touch you
I can't stop thinkin' of the things we doThe way you call me baby when I'm holding youI shake and I shiver when I know you're nearThen you whisper in my ear, oh baby, well, well
You read my mind, (you know you did)Girl I wanna shake you downI could give you all the loving you needCome on let me take you downWe'll go all the way to heavenI love you then and I always will
i kinda hate this song. it's almost a parody of the smoooooove 80's luvvermang. plus, he was a weird looking dude. kinda reminded me of the dude in soul man. but every once in a while it gets stuck in my head and i hear that "GIRL!!! i've been missing you" and that "WELL WELL". kind of a hybrid between luther and al jarreau. but maybe i'm just dreaming the eeny meeny part. or it's from another song. "eeny meeny miney moe, something, something, don't you know!" or something like that. dude haunts me. and those backing vocals. "you read my mind..." hell, i don't know. maybe it's genius. dude sat in my section once when i waited tables at a saladalley in the bourse in philly. so did grandpa from the gilmore girls and louis anderson. but louis didn't eat from the salad bar. he got himself a big old cheesesteak and ate it at our tables outside the restaurant. i wasn't gonna tell him to move. he was hoooooongry.

when I was a kid I thought it was philip michael thomas, it almost doesnt make any sense that it's not philip michael thomas, I was so psyched about him being a "double threat" or whatever.

god, i think watching that exorcised my demons. i still think he looks a little like c thomas howell. and i do kinda like the song. i must like it to remember it so vividly for so long. i remember when he did it on the johnny carson show.

YES this is totally the best part of the song and one the most best/silly/maddening things ever!

also, from the amg bio:Abbott's music has crossed every barrier imaginable. He is noted for coining the term "groove ballad," to describe his signature style, and when referring to him, music writers and critics alike have affectionately used the term "Wall Street soul." He is a favorite with the ladies for his sophisticated demeanor and intelligent green eyes.
