LOU RAWLS Groovy People Lyrics

Groovy people
I like to be around
Groovy, groovy people.

I don't like nobody
That's got an ego
I don't like to sit around
And hold a conversation
With somebody who don't know
Where he wants to go.

Give me the simple life
Full of fun and joy
Can't you see
I'm just a big ol' country boy.

I like groovy people
I'm talking 'bout
Groovy, down home people.

I don't like nobody
That's got an attitude
Walkin' 'round with
Their nose in the air
Them kind of people
I just can't use.

I like to be relaxed
With my mind at ease
The best things in life
Is all I want for me.

So give me some
Groovy people
I said groovy, groovy people
Talkin' 'bout groovy, groovy
Groovy, groovy people.

Now baby, oh darlin'
We don't have to put up
With them jive-time folks no more.

Let's pretend that
We're not at a-home
When they come knockin'
Knockin' on our door.

I don't like nosy people
Get in my business and things
I done been through all of that, baby
And I know the bad feelings
That it brings.

Give me the simple life
Full of fun and joy
Can't you see
I'm just a big ol' country boy.

And I like groovy people
I'm talkin' 'bout groovy
Down home people
Talkin' 'bout groovy, groovy
Groovy, groovy people.

Talkin' 'bout groovy people
(Groovy people)
I'm talking about the people
(Groovy, groovy people)
That I can hold a conversation with
(Groovy people)
I'm talking about a people
(Groovy, groovy people)
That ain't goin' on no ego trip
(Groovy people)
I'm talkin' about people
(Groovy, groovy people)
That know how
To love one another
(Groovy people)
I'm talking 'bout people
(Groovy, groovy people)
That know how
To love their brothers
(Groovy people)
Talkin' about people
(Groovy, groovy people)
Who know how to get together
(Groovy people)
I'm talkin' about people
(Groovy, groovy people)
Who know how to brave
The stormy weather
(Groovy people)
