Big Bad & Groovy

Written by Bootsauce, from Bull, 1992

(Ling) Hey, girl! Wanna hold that lovingness next to mine? I just have to whisper, I just have to whisper, you're just not to, not to blame!
(Conchetta) Tell me what you're thinking!

Love monkey...!
Big, bad, and groovy, all right
You wanted to be
But your braincells, they give me a fight
Don't blame it on me
Ah yes, you wanna make it right
(Group) And find a new belief
Well yes, you wanna make it work
(Group) It ain't happening to me
Big, bad, and groovy, all right
You wanted to be

What's your game?
What's your thinking? (Tell me what you're thinking)
I can't stand it when you mock my thang
What's your game?
Why you leaving? (Why are you leaving?)
I can't help it when I'm not to blame,
Not to blame (x 2)

Slim, slack, and cool it, all right
You're giving me grief, uh huh
'Cause if you use what you got in your head
And take it to Greece
Ah yes, you wanna make it right
(Group) And get to see the light
Well yes, you wanna make it work
(Group) Yes it ain't happening to me
Big, bad, and groovy, all right
You wanted to be

What's your game?
What's your thinking? (Tell me what you're thinking)
I can't stand it when you mock my thang
What's your game?
Why you leaving? (Why are you leaving?)
I can't help it when I'm not to blame,
Not to blame

Not to blame
What--!
Not to blame - shah shah
(Conchetta) Tell me what you're thinking
Not to blame - shah shah
You're not to, you're not to blame
(Conchetta) I can't stand it
You're not to, you're not to blame...

Notes:

• The female backing vocals are by a studio singer named Conchetta, though this is only a stage name. She sounds similar to Sass Jordan, another Canadian performer.
• This track quite notably samples "Le Grind" by Prince, off The Black Album from 1987. It's the "mwah-mwah-mwah" bass that kicks in after the second chorus, mixed in with feminine moans.
