“When I hold you in my arms,
I know that I can't do no wrong.
And when I hold you in my arms,
My love can't do me no harm.And I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice.
So nice, so nice, well I got you.”

I Got You (I Feel Good), from I Got You (1966)
Song lyrics

“Mama, come here quick,
Bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
Bring me that lickin' stick.
People standin',
Standin' in a trance.
Sister out in the backyard
Doin' the outside dance.”

“When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.”

“Our love is kind of stalled, baby.
But it ain't about the sex.
I'd trade the roses and the negligees
If we could just connect.
I go deeper when you look into my eyes.
There's a place where neither one of us can hide.
And it's up to us to reinvent the game.
Love it when you call my name.”

I Got the Feelin (1968)
Song lyrics

“Get up,
Get on up.
Stay on the scene.
Get on up,
Like a Sex Machine.
Get on up,
Get up.
Shake your arm,
Then use your form.
Stay on the scene, like a Sex Machine.
You gotta have the feeling,
Sure as you're born.”

Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine, written with Bobby Byrd and Ron Lenhoff (1970)
Song lyrics

“I would warn against anyone marrying a person with more than a ten-year age difference. It almost never works. It is difficult to find things to talk about, to use similar reference points, and to operate at the same speed of life. Another problem is that both sides usually don't want the same things at the same time.”
