Lyrics Tony Joe White

Tony Joe White

Bare Necessities

I try to be cool but you turn on the heat

You got sexy ways tantalize me

It's there between us and you know it's true

Just roll with it baby I'm gonna take care of you

We got the feeling and that's all we need

Gonna get down to the bare necessities

I don't need a mo joe John the conqueror root

You're my good luck woman I'll just rub on you

I don't need to ride in a limousine

But a little Jag baby wouldn't hurt anything

It don't take much to satisfy me

I like to keep it down to the bare necessities

Wouldn't mind a little condo way down in Cancun

So me and my woman could have a little breathing room

Money talks if it's the right amount

A little nest egg baby in an overseas bank account

It may be true the best things are free

But I want to have enough for the bare necessities
