back to basics

well it's all right

it's all right

living hard

living fast in the city

there's got to be a way to make it slow down

doing what we do

is human nature

that's the way it goes

it gets so hard

trying to make a living

we've got to give the love back to our brothers

trying to find some time

for one another

so we know it's for real

i wanna get back to basics

i wanna get back with you

back to basics

like we use to do

i wanna get back to basics

just take it slow

back to basics

and just let it go

you know at times you get a little crazy

running round

looking for some direction

on the streets

nothings very simple

but i know it's for real

i wanna get back to basics

i wanna get back with you

back to basics

like we use to do

i wanna get back to basics

just take it slow

back to basics

ah

just let it go

nothing matters but

good old fashioned love

let's just face it

all it takes is basic love

i wanna get back to basics

i wanna get back with you

back to basics

like we use to do

i wanna get back to basics

just take it slow

back to basics

ah

just let it go

i wanna get back to basics

wanna get back to love

i wanna get back to basics

wanna get back to love

i wanna get back to basics

i wanna get back with you

i wanna get back to basics

baby like we use to do

i wanna get back to basics
