Chaka Khan


A little something about Chaka Khan
This web site has been and will most likely continue to be guilty of many things - factual errors, bad grammar, miserable spelling, a bias toward the music that I like, etc. I have also been guilty of showcasing primarily white musical acts, when the 1980s were hardly a decade dominated by white musicians. The early 1980s were the era when Michael Jackson ruled the charts, hip hop began to work it's way out of New York and around the world, and when the line between soul and pop was forever blurred. Born Yvette Marie Stevens in Illinois, Chaka Khan made her way up through the ranks of R&B acts in the 1970s, the most notable of which was funk band Rufus. In 1978 she began recording solo material, and landed a few singles on the R&B charts of the next six years. In 1984 she recorded a song written for her by Prince, who himself was having a bit of success on both pop and R&B charts. As if that weren't enough star power, Melle Mel and Stevie Wonder were both brought in to back her up. The track, "I Feel For You," gave her a number 1 hit in the UK, and she narrowly missed the top spot in the States.
I Feel For You

Chaka, Chaka, Chaka, Chaka Khan
Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan
Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, that's all I wanna do
Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, let me feel for you
Chaka Khan let me tell you what I wanna do
Do you feel for me, the way I feel for you
Chaka Khan let me tell you what I wanna do
I wanna love you, wanna hug you, wanna squeeze you too
Let me take you in my arms
Let me fill you with my charms, Chaka
'Cause you know that I'm the one to keep you warm
Chaka, I'll make you more than just a physical dream
I wanna rock you, Chaka
Baby, cause you make me wanna scream
Let me rock you, rock you

Baby, baby, when I look at you
I get a warm feeling inside
There's something about the things you do
That keeps me satisfied

I wouldn't lie to you, baby
It's mainly a physical thing
This feeling that i got for you, baby
Makes me wanna sing

I feel for you
I think I love you
I feel for you
I think I love you

Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, that's all I wanna do
Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, let me feel for you
Feel for you

Baby, baby, when I lay with you
There's no place I'd rather be
I can't believe, can't believe it's true
The things that you do to me

I wouldn't lie to you, baby
I'm physically attracted to you
This feeling that I got for you, baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do

I feel for you
I think I love you
I feel for you
I think I love you

Yes sir, one more time
Say yeah
I feel for you (I think I love you)
I feel for you (I, I, I think I love you)

Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, that's all I wanna do
Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, let me feel for you
Chaka Khan won't you tell me what you wanna do
Do you feel for me, the way I feel for you
Chaka Khan let me tell you what I wanna do
I wanna love you, wanna hug you, wanna squeeze you too
Let me take you in my arms
Let me fill you with my charms, Chaka
'Cause you know that I'm the one to keep you warm
Chaka, I'll make you more than just a physical dream
I wanna rock you, Chaka
Baby, cause you make me wanna scream
Feel for you

I feel for you (Oooh, feel for you)
I feel it too (Oooh, feel for you)
I feel for you (Oooh, feel for you)
