Contagious lyrics
by Isley Brothers



There was a story
About a man comin' in
Finding his woman in bed with
Well, listen

It's 2 AM, just getting in, about to check my message
No-one has called but my homies and some bill collectors
Cellular rings, somebody wants to borrow money
I two-way her, she don't hit me back, something is funny

So I called her mother's house and asked her, had she seen my baby
Drove my 6 around looking for that missing lady
Got back in, turned the TV on and caught the news
And I put my hand on my head 'cause I'm so confused

And then I turned the TV down (TV down)
'Cause I thought I heard a squeaky sound
Something's going on upstairs, yeah
'Cause I know nobody else lives here

As I get closer to the stairways, all I hear
And then I hear my baby's voice in my ear
Screaming out

You're contagious, touch me, baby
Give me what you got (Then a man said)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy
Drive me wild (All I heard was my baby's voice screamin')

You're contagious, touch me, baby (Touch me)
Give me what you got (Then I heard another man, yeah)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy
Drive me wild (And I just can't believe this shit)

I ran downstairs, looked in the closet, looking for that, oooh
Said a prayer, 'cause only god knows what I'm gonna do
What I saw was enough to drive a preacher wild
I'm in the hall contemplating, not in my own damn house

Who would have thought she was creeping with another man
The down low happening to me all over again

And then I turned the TV down (TV down)
'Cause I thought I heard a squeaky sound
Something's going on upstairs, yeah
'Cause I know ain't no-one else lives here

As I get closer to the stairways all I hear
And then I hear my baby's voice in my ear
Screaming

You're contagious, touch me, baby
Give me what you got (Then a man says)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy
Drive me wild (All I can do is hear them say)

You're contagious, touch me, baby
Give me what you got
Sexy lady, drive me crazy
Drive me wild (Oh, I can't believe this shit)

What the hell is going on between the sheets in my home?

Baby, wait, let me explain

Before you start to point your cane

Girl, I'm 'bout to have a fit

Oh, it's about to be some shit
How did I get into this?
Shoulda never came home with this bitch

You low down dirty woman
Back to where you come from

But, baby, wait

But wait my ass
Hit the streets, yo' ass is grass

Now mr. Biggs, before you done

Wait, how you know my name son?

Honey wait, I was gonna tell you

Oooh, this cat looks real familiar

Hmm, now don't I know you from somewhere a long time ago

No, no, I don't think so

Yeah, yeah, I feel I know you brother, very well

No, no, you're mistaking me for somebody else

Frank

Shut up, can't you see two men are talking?

But

Thought I told your ass to get to walking
Now I think y'all better leave this place
'Cause I'm about to catch a case

You're contagious, touch me, baby
Give me what you got (Oh, that's what she said)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy
Drive me wild (And then he replied)

You're contagious, touch me, baby (Touch me)
Give me what you got (Give me what you got)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy
Drive me wild (Oh, yeah, oh)

I should have known from the shopping spree
And all the time you smiled at me
And making love, girl, never the same
I can tell how you said my name
