Eddy Grant - Village Life

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

I gotta get some village life
When my body need a lover
I gotta get some village life
When my body need a lover

Don't put too much distance
'Tween the streets by yourself and so
Baby, don't you know
Wanna feel the earth between my feet
Don't wanna be alone
By a telephone
I thought the city was the best, oh, no
Now I got to go and do the rest

I gotta get some village life
When my body need a lover
Yo, oh, oh, village life
When my body need a lover
Mercy, mercy, mercy me

I wanna be rolling on my back
Like a rabbit jack
Don't wanna lead the pack
I wanna feel romance in the air
Will you be right there
To have a love affair
New York policemen on the beat
O-o-o-oh, no!
The grass on the ground will be my sheet

I gotta get some village life
When my body need a lover
Mercy, mercy
Yo, oh, oh, village life
When my body need a lover

I gotta get some village life
When my body need a lover
Yo, oh, oh, village life
When my body need a lover

Don't put too much distance
'Tween the streets by yourself and so
Baby, don't yu know
Wanna feel the earth between my feet
Don't wanna be alone
By a telephone
New York policemen on the beat
O-o-o-oh, no!
The grass on the ground will be my sheet

I gotta get some village life, oh
When my body need a lover
Mercy, mercy
Yo, oh, oh, village life
When my body need a lover

I gotta get some village life
When my body need a lover
Yo, oh, oh, village life
When my body need a lover

I gotta get some village life
