Now listen to me, baby   I keep it on so low   And I whisper to you, sister   Now we're all alone      Take no notice of me, baby   Like a dream gonna keep it quit   So I can hear you scream   Words of wonder   Are the words I wanna hear      I'm sticking to you, baby, until I arrive   I'm half dead, a quarter alive   A little bit is missing   Wonder where it's gone   Pay me no attention, I babble on and on      Words, these words of wonder   Are the words I wanna hear   Those words, the words of wonder   They are the words I wanna hear      Dripping from your lips   Yeah, that's the way it goes   That's the way it comes   Ya' know what I mean   Now that your talkin' to me, baby   Still you say that I'm obscene      Words, words of wonder   They are the words I wanna hear   Words, those words of wonder   Are the words I wanna hear      Let me roll it over, baby   Now I got to jam it up   Make you weep and moan   Go around the back, baby   And make yourself known      The words, these are words of wonder   These are the words you better learn   These are words, these words of wonder   These are words, you ought to know      You been talkin' to me, sweetie   You know I babble on and on   Ooh, I run away my tongue   Giving thanks and praises      Low friends in high places   I'm gonna whisper these words of wonder
