BOO LOVING [Intro — spoken, bass groove building] Come here, baby… You know what time it is. That back in the day… Courtship loving………… The kind you can feel. Yeah! [Bass drops — “BOOM… BOOM… BOOM”] [Verse 1 — smooth Motown swing] You my boo, my baby, my ride-or-die, Got me smiling every time you walk by. Ain’t gotta have much, long as I got you, Two hearts in the hood, making dreams come true. We can ride slow with the radio low, Windows rolled down, let the whole block know, You got my heart— (PAUSE) I got yours— (CHANT) Boo loving! Boo loving! That’s what we got! [Pre-Hook — melody rising] When you hold me, I feel so good, Love like this in the neighborhood! Ain’t no fancy diamond, ain’t no limousine, Just you and me living that sweet love dream. [HOOK — big Motown chant] Boo loving! (HEY!) Sweet loving! (HEY!) Ain’t nobody gonna love me like you do! Boo loving! True loving! Every little thing you do got me stuck on you! Ooooh… (PAUSE) Baby! (REVERB) Baby… baby… baby… [Verse 2 — deeper, playful groove] You know my walk, you know my smile, You know how to make it worth my while. When I’m low, you lift me high, Put that sunshine right back in my sky. We fuss sometimes— (PAUSE) Then we laugh. Turn that bad day into our photograph. Ain’t perfect, baby, but we’re alright, Two old souls getting it right tonight. [Bridge — melody shifts / emotional lift] Hold me close… Don’t let go… Let the whole world fade away. Your love… Your touch… That’s enough… (REVERB) Enough… enough… enough… [Drums stop — bass and handclaps only] CALL: Who got my heart? RESPONSE: YOU GOT MY HEART! CALL: Who’s my boo? RESPONSE: I’M YOUR BOO! CALL: What we got? RESPONSE: THAT TRUE LOVE! [FULL BAND RETURNS] [Final Hook — powerful, uplifting] Boo loving! (HEY!) Sweet loving! (HEY!) Ain’t nobody gonna love me like you do! Boo loving! True loving! Baby, I’m forever stuck on you! HEY! HEY! Keep that love coming! HEY! HEY! Ain’t no stopping! Boo loving… (PAUSE) Boo loving… BOO LOVING! [Outro — fading harmonies] You my baby… My boo… My everything… Ooooh, baby… That’s that old-school love.
