Make no mistake about it
Well things ain't what they seem
I want to scream and shout it
This is just a dream

A simple conversation
Every now and then
A touchy situation, yeah
Fascinates a man

What shall I do
If I should see you
And have to pretend
That we have never met?

It's not a cheap sensation
When you touch me with your hand
A little complication but it
Can hypnotize a man

How're we going to hide it
This thing with you and me? Yeah
Everyone can tell by now
I just can't lie you see

What shall I say
To hide it, to hide it, baby?
No words can convey
Your lips melting into mine

No mistake
Make no mistake
Make no mistake about it

Come on

So listen

Make no mistake about it
I'm going to make you mine
No need to talk it over
We're running out of time

I've made up my mind
About you
I know in my heart you have
The same point of view

This is it

Oh yeah

It's not that we don't have the time
Not in the right place
No mistake
Come on, come on baby
Make no mistake - no mistake, baby
Ah yeah
Well you better make no mistake, baby
I'm talking to you, baby
 
 

TrackTalk

Keith and I get into different things - like real heavy reggae time, and Al Green type chords. Keith's on that thing, and that'll probably be evident on his album - a cross between Gregory Isaacs and Al Green type melodies. But he has a way of changing it, we have a way of moulding it.

We laid the track down and it just said to us, Call the airport, guys, 'cause you're going to Memphis! (laughs)

(B)y the time I got to Make No Mistake, I was comfortable doing things like singing down an octave.
