	Story Behind the Song This song was an experiment in blending two styles of dance music. Reggae and Go-Go. It was also a challenge to attempt to capture this type of groove without the luxury of a live band. With the exception of live trombone and guitar, the track is computer generated. Thanks to Mr. Harry Coombs, the song was recorded at Gamble and Huff Studios in Philadelphia and engineered by the wonderfully skilled Mr.Craig White, chief engineer there. Lyrics (With Caribbean accent) What I been tinkin bout A long long time Just how dat I could Make she mine But when I'm asking her For a dance Never will she givin' me Give me a chance And if I call her On de phone Her mudda she tellin me She not yet home So I ask de mudda Before she leave I say would you give your daughter Dis message please (I say) Sha-na-na la-de-da Tell her I love her O-we-o let her know Dat I'm tinkin of her I ring the phone now Almost everyday Still de mudda she have De very same ting to say By now I know she tinkin I some kinda nut Doe I must still continue To press me luck But last night, Last night when I call No one answer De phone at all But radda a tape machine It begin to speak It tellin' me leave a message please After de beep (I say) Sha-na-na la-de-da Tell her I love her O-we-o let her know Dat I'm tinkin of her (ad lib) Oh oh oh Shes so fine She blowin me mind Hay yay yay yay yay (I leave me message) Sha-na-na la-de-da It means dat I love her O-we-o let her know I'm tinkin of her (I leave my message) (REPEAT CHORUS)
