The first eight lines of this song are a call to a full bodied and real passionate love which is tangible and not just an idea, ideal or romantic image. Intimate love taps into every cell of one's body as well as every inch of emotional heart and appreciative mind. Funky love is sensuous, deeply emotional, and captivating to both mind and heart.
When you funk with me its real
When you funk with me it’s happening
Attacking life with a head of steam thrills me
lyrics
When You Funk 2/11/86
There is no dream I can live in
All of my life I love the life that’s real
There is no sense in the senseless
Fantasy fades from the feeling hand
I give to you my love
The powerful present of sharing
Days never to be dazed
Nights in need of no mythical knights
When you funk with me you funk with the best
Precious times like the advent of the dawn
Are found not dreamt of
Life awakens to the heart that never sleeps
Now girl, it’s all flowing
This is a royal feast
Of how intense are the senses
As are the thoughts of impassioned minds
I give to you my love
The powerful present of sharing
Days never to be dazed
Nights in need of no mythical knights
When you funk with me you funk with the best
Who you going to funk with? Who are you going to funk?
Yes I do say, yes I’m in love
Yes, girl I funk so I feel
Earthy syncopation has such appeal
When you funk with me its real
When you funk with me it’s happening
Attacking life with a head of steam thrills me
God I love this funky heat
When you funk, funk funky
