Groovy People (Album Version)

Groovy People - Lou Rawls

Groovy people

I like to be around

Groovy groovy people

I don't like nobody that's got an ego

I don't like to sit around and hold a conversation

With somebody who don't know where he wants to go

Give me the simple life

Full of fun and joy

Can't you see I'm just a big ol' country boy

And I like groovy people

I'm talking 'bout

Groovy down home people

I don't like nobody that's got an attitude

Walkin' 'round with their nose in the air

Them kind of people I just can't use

I like to be relaxed

With my mind at ease

The best things in life

Is all I want for me

So give me some groovy people

I said groovy groovy people

Talkin' 'bout groovy groovy

Groovy groovy people

Now baby oh darlin' we don't have to put up

With them jive-time folks no more

Let's pretend that we're not at a-home

When they come knockin' knockin' on our door

I don't like nosy people

Get in my business and things

I done been through all of that baby

And I know the bad feelings that it brings

Give me the simple life

Full of fun and joy

Can't you see I'm just a big ol' country boy

And I like groovy people

I'm talkin' 'bout a groovy

Down home people
