How long can you go

Oh can you go a dozen times?

How long can you smile

Oh can you smile a dozen smiles?

'Cos ev'ry way holds a something that's nice

Try it once and then you'll try it twice

Oh mercy, mercy



Chorus



Oh lawdy lawdy

I'll scratch a your back

If you'll just scratch mine:

'Cos when I'm out of sight

Then I'm out of mind.

Oh mercy mercy

Do it over and over again

Scratch your back

You scratch mine

Oh lawdy lawdy



How long will it last

It's getting harder off the cuff

How long does it take

There must be someone with enough

'Cos everytime holds something that's better,

Go on get on up, and forget the letter



Chorus

R E P E A T



How much do you need

What does it take to get you off?

No one's ever made it

Are you tryin' to make me laugh?

'Cos until now you been and tried all the rest,

So now's the time you gotta try out the best



Chorus

R E P E A T



I'll scratch your back you scratch mine

How you scratch mine

Oh lawdy lawdy I'll scratch your back you scratch mine.
