Never have any thougths about the lyrics - just the rythm is right - so cool to finally read the lines too - amazing how deep they were!

[calvinjackson]

"Don't get me wrong,
there's more to life than gold;
There are fortunes here that can't be bought or sold,
Tons of diamonds lie within your soul,
YOU CAN'T COUNT YOUR CASH SIX FEET UNDER
STIFF AND COLD..."
What incredible lyrics, and filled with such profound TRUTH!
Love you Chaka!!!

[Brentster]

Mid seventies this one of my 8-tracks I cranked up while stoned, driving my '64 Impala!

[JeffmChicago]

'You can't count your cash, six feet under, stiff and cold.'  That lyric gets me every time.  I love this song.

Woke up with this song in my head! " They say it's darkest just before the dawn..." Chaka's been bringing the truth all my life!

[PassDatHere]

I love the way Tony Maiden plays guitar on this, especially at 1:18

[calvin]

'Rufus now, Rufus tomorrow, Rufus forever!'. Oh, what they could have been. I love Chaka..but damn, if she hadn't left, they would be up there with the Isleys, right? Eh, at least we have these three lil' records.

Rufus And Chaka Khan Somebody's Watching You song is good. Chaka made me laugh when she said you can't count your cash money 6 feet under when you are dead at the cemetary LOL. Rufusized album is trash LOL. I like album pictures. Rufus And Chaka Khan, The Jacksons(RIP Michael Jackson, RIP Tito Jackson), Vanity(RIP), Florence Ballard of The Supremes(RIP), Zapp(RIP Roger Troutman), Midnight Star, Cameo, Dazz Band, Luther Vandross(RIP), The Deele, James Taylor of Kool And The Gang are my favorite black music singers.

I thought I knew all of Rufus and Chaka Khan's material. Where did you find this diamond!

[calvinjackson]

It sure sounds like she's saying "GOD is watching you, GOD is watching you, saw you, saw you, saw you, saw you!Her song would be just as true, because He is watching all of us.I know that's not what she is actually saying, but when I hear her sing this song there is a part of me that hear it this way.

Music geeks: how would you notate this? Is the verse in 9/8, or is it 4/4 with a one-note measure with a fermata after each line?
