Ooh, Carla—I love you, baby
Ooh, Carla—I love you, little girl
Ooh, Otis—keep saying you love me
You're so sweet to me—you're my everything
You're my cake and ice cream—honey, you remain the same
Dimples in your jaw—so good, honey
But one more thing I got to tell you is that
As always, I love you, Carla

Ooh, Otis—keep saying you love me
Carla, baby, I really love you
I give you everything your heart desires
Just your touch set my soul on fire
Ain't it plain—you're my man
Since you kissed me, baby, I'm not the same
Ooh, baby—I really love you, Carla
Ooh, Otis—keep saying you love me

Carla, honey, I love you
I'll always love you—I love you, baby
You are my everything—my cake and ice cream
You're so sweet, honey—sweeter than anything
Ain't it plain that you're my man
Since you kissed me, baby, I'm not the same
Ooh, baby—I really love you
