Tell Me Somethin' Good
Rufus with Chaka Khan
Written by Stevie Wonder
~~*~~
You ain't got no kind of feelin' inside
I got somethin' that will sure enough set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
What I got will knock all your pride aside
Tell me somethin' good
Tell me that you love me, yeah
Tell me somethin' good
Tell me that you like it, yeah
"Got no time" is what you're known to say
I'll make you wish there were 48 hours to each day
The problem is, you ain't been loved like you should
What I got to give will sure enough do you good
Tell me something good
Tell me that you love me, yeah
Tell me something good
Tell me that you like it, yeah
You ain't got no kind of feelin' inside
I got somethin' that will sure enough set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
What I got will knock all your pride aside
Tell me something good
Tell me that you love me, yeah
Tell me something good
Tell me that you like it, yeah
Tell me something good
Tell me that you love me, yeah
Tell me something good

I defy anyone to find a funk-rock song funkier than this one.
Due to my father's intransigent, grinding racism,
anytime he heard us listening to this,
he'd either smash the radio or,
more likely,
us.
Which, of course, only made me love it more.
If he hated it, it must be good.
Damn straight it is.
