[Intro]

Bootsy had something to do with it?

He had everything to do with it and you'd be surprised. He had a lot to do with a whole lot of my friends falling in love and gettin' married

Why you say that?

Because we listened to his music all the time whenever we thought we was finna argue. Throw on a little Bootsy, you forget about all that

[Intro: Bootsy Collins]

Oh

This is the school for fools in love

Did I mention? Pay attention

Another 40 days, 40 nights

I gotta get my love life right

I'd just like to say

Welcome to my Milky Way, baby

And you better believe there's a heart breakin' every day (Every day)

Oh, ain't nothin' wrong with havin' fun

Unless you ain't gettin' none, baby

And that brings us to this occasion

True lover's dedication

Now, talk to me, baby

[Chorus: Kali Uchis and Bootsy Collins]

Can you make it worth my while?

Go on and show me, babe

Can you make it worth my while?

Uh, I certainly can

Yeah, I think that change is about to come, baby

Watch me, now

Come on, make it worth my while (It's been a long time)

Go on and lead the way (But I think I'm ready, baby)

Come on, make it worth my while

Just explain what you mean, baby

[Verse 1: Kali Uchis and Bootsy Collins]

When I'm with him, all I ever do

What you talkin' about?

Is reminisce over you

In funk we thrust, who else been on my bus?

I close my eyes, try to think it through

But you know, I'm stuck to you like glue

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, now that's some unsportsmanlike conduct, baby

[Chorus: Kali Uchis and Bootsy Collins]

Can you make it worth my while?

Go on and show me, babe

Can you make it worth my while?

Uh, I certainly can

Yeah, I think that change is about to come, baby

Watch me, now

Come on, make it worth my while (It's been a long time)

Go on and lead the way (But I think I'm ready, baby)

Come on, make it worth my while

My dearly baby, I got something to say

[Verse 2: Bootsy Collins]

What I'd like to say to you

Is, girl, you know that I love you too

And if you turn and walk away

Ah, I'm not even a dog, I'm just a stray, babe

But what I'd like to say would be

(And I didn't mean any harm)

I need your love and honesty

(And I didn't wanna do you no wrong)

I thought I made our little house a home

And now I'm so alone

Now, that's some unsportsmanlike conduct

[Bridge: Bootsy Collins]

Oh no, the trickle-down effect, baby

Sometimes the pain hurts more than it hurts you, baby girl

Now check this out, baby

What I'd like to do with you

Oh, any man, would wanna do

And that's hold you in my arms and let life live on

That's hold you in my arms and let life live on

(Pretty thing, boy)

(Yeah)

(Stalkin', walkin')

(Chicken hawkin', baby)

(Yeah)

(Listen while I recite oral history, baby)

[Chorus: Kali Uchis and Bootsy Collins]

Can you make it worth my while?

Go on and show me, babe

Can you make it worth my while?

What you mean, it's a dream?

Come on, make it worth my while (This is Brother Nature calling, baby)

Go on and lead the way (Yeah)

Come on, make it worth my while (From the west side of the wing of Heaven, baby)

[Outro: Bootsy Collins]

I'm virtually nothing

Yeah

And you're always a new adventure in my world, baby

He's the potter and I'm the clay

Whatever you look around, I'm on display

They call me Brother Nature (Call me Brother Nature)

Like a book with no pages

I came from the west wing (I came from the west wing)

With nothing (With nothing)
