Release It

[Spoken Intro: Morris Day]

Yo, Stella, if you think I'm afraid of you

Grace, if you so much as think I can't do the do

Girl, if you dream I came to jerk around

You better wake up and release it

Party people in the crib, get hyped

Let's get this party funkin' right, come on (Hey), come on

(Release it) Listen to me now, release it (Hey)

Come, come, come on, release it

[Verse 1: Morris Day]

Whose crib is this? (My crib)

Whose wine you drinking? (Mine)

Who asked your ugly ass what time it was? (Nobody)

Take it all off, bass

I need the funk in my face

I can't stand tight asses in my place

Let's get hyped, y'all, release it

[Bridge]

(Hey, release it)

(Hey) What time it is? Band

It's time to get sleazy up in here

Mary Sweet Mother Jesus

Talk that talk, Morris

[Verse 2: Morris Day & Jerome Benton]

Oh, Stella, I know you came alone

'Cause it isn't just any man qualified to take you home

Me? No I'm not a man. Jerome? He's an adventure

Oh, somebody slap me

I don't know

Party people in the crib, get hyped (Hey)

Party people in the crib, get hyped (Hey)

Release it, boy

Go on, Stella, dance

Say, man, back up, give me some room

Dance, shake it like a peckerwood

(Release it)

[Verse 4: Morris Day & Jerome Benton]

Over and over and over and over and over

Your girlfriend told you that I'm the rover

But I'm here to scold ya that if you live alone

Then we can bone (Hey)

Give me a number to phone, you groan

And I am so, if you say no

Instead of crying, I'll keep trying

Until you're dying to have me for your own

So peep Stella, peep Stella

If you think that I'm afraid of you (Do it, MD)

If you think that I'm afraid of you (Rap to her)

If you think that I can't do the do (Yeah, papa)

If you think that I can't do the do (Woo)

If you think I came to jerk around (Don't say it)

You better wake up, Stella (Wake up), this is my town

[Outro: Morris Day & Jerome Benton]

(Release it)

Man, let them drums kick

Let's get the hell out of here

Let's do it

(Release it, hey)

Motherfucker, get your ass out of my way

(Hey, hey, release it)
