Woo, gave you my money, I gave you my time
Why you wanna hurt me, girl
Are you serious, I’m just curious
Why you wanna hurt me, girl

Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl
Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl

Never, ever had a lover
Who put the peddle to the metal
And burn rubber on me, Charlie
Oh, no

You took my money, you took my time
Made me think everything was fine
Then you upped and ran away
And made me just go crazy

I never, ever had a lover
Who put the peddle to the metal
And burn rubber on me, Charlie
Oh, no, no, no

Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl
Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl

I never, ever had a lover
Who put the peddle to the metal
And burn rubber on me, Charlie
Oh, no, no, no

Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl
Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl

You told me to go up the block
To get you a strawberry pop
When I got back to the flat
You had burned rubber out the back

I went to the closet and saw no clothes
All I saw was hangers and poles
I went to the phone and called your mother
And told me that you had burned rubber on me, Charlie
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl
Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl

I never, ever had a lover
Who put the peddle to the metal
And burn rubber on me, Charlie
Oh, no, no, no, no, oh, no, yeah, yeah

Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl
Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl

Just because you’re not for real
Why you hurt me, girl

You took my money, you took my time
You made me think everything was fine
Like the clock on the wall said ding-ding-dong
Got to find another lover that won’t be gone

She won’t put the medal to the metal
And burn rubber, burn rubber on me, Charlie
No, no, no, no

Never, ever had a lover
Who put the peddle to the metal
And burn rubber on me, Charlie
No, no, no, no, no, no

I never, ever had a lover
Who put the peddle to the metal
And burn rubber on me, Charlie
No, no, no, no, no, no

I never, ever had a lover
Who put the peddle to the metal
And burn rubber on me, Charlie
No, no, no, no, no, no.........

These guys should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if they aren't already, they were the masters of 80s funk, when this would drop in the clubs back then the floor would be packed, one of my favorites from them, legends..

[backgroundnoiserelax]

"Smells like teen spirit" loves this. :P

[InfiniteUmbra]

Damn I think it's impossible not to move to this. Pure funk

[bimbler]

I just feel this music is timeless. Still kicks ass even today!

Takes me back to my high school days (as a junior, 1980-81). This was THE SERIOUS JAM (!!!)

[IronMaiden]

The Gap Band never fails to lift me out of a bad mood. ♥

[Logan-pywe]

If only the 80s could come back..the world would be a better place.
Those of us that lived through it understand.

[gunther]

Quite honestly Gap band were cool as hell . Alot of good music in the 80s . Brought people together instead of dividing . Seriously peeps . Wish to God we could go back to those days .

[oleheat]

The Jammin' Cowboys themselves! Back when popular music was fun....

[ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

YESS!!!!  I laughed hard at what Charlie did for love.  This is such a classic song from a legendary and icon group! The Gap Band forever. this music was part of the best memories of my childhood!

"You told me to go up the block

When I got back to the flat
You had burned rubber out the back

I went to the closet and saw no clothes
All I saw was hangers and poles

And told me that you had burned rubber on me, Charlie
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no"

[neverbornneverdie]

at age 68 I have been fortunate to see so many genres come onto the music seen.
Gap certainly left there mark. Love this.

[squirrelattackspidy]

This song has the funky chicken's seal of approval.

[lisacalvert]

Uncle Charlie gave a bad ass jam with this song!!! Never get tired of hearing it.
