About Moody's Mood For Love / Teo Licks

This is the sixth track on Amy Winehouse’s debut album Frank (2003). This is a cover of James Moody’s 1952 song Moody’s Mood For Love. A few of the lyrics on Winehouse’s version are slightly different than the original. The song ends with a 39 second instrumental outro titled ‘Teo Licks’. "On her first album I introduced her to “Moody’s Mood for Love,” which was a jazz record I knew because Frankie Crocker on WBLS would close every show with it. .

Moody's Mood For Love / Teo Licks Lyrics

[00:03.40] There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
[00:10.74] Pretty baby you are the soul, snaps my control
[00:16.24] Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
[00:18.73] I never can behave
[00:21.68] You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
[00:24.69] There's music all around me
[00:26.84] Crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
[00:29.78] Very close to you, turns me your slave
[00:35.65] Come with me, any little thing you want to
[00:37.07] Anything, baby just let me get next to you
[00:40.94] So am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
[00:47.34] Bright as stars that shine up above you
[00:50.76] In the clear blue skies, how I worry 'bout you
[00:53.87] Just can't live my life without you
[00:55.33] Baby come here, don't have no fear
[00:58.44] Oh, is there wonder why
[01:02.03] I'm really feelin' in the mood for love?
[01:05.90] So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
[01:13.07] This little dream might fade away
[01:16.02] There I go talking out of my head again, baby won't you
[01:18.97] Come and put our two hearts together?
[01:22.75] That would make me strong and brave
[01:26.26] Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
[01:32.14] Now if there's a cloud up above us
[01:35.26] Come on and let it rain
[01:37.25] I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
[01:40.60] Ooh my baby won't you please let me love you
[01:43.35] And give a relief from this awful misery?
[01:45.08] What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
[01:50.49] I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
[01:55.06] Can't you understand me? Now baby please
[01:59.80] Pull yourself together, do it soon
[02:03.41] My soul's on fire, come on and take me
[02:07.00] I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet
[02:09.86] Oh baby, you make me feel so good
[02:13.75] Let me take you by the hand
[02:16.51] Come let me visit out there
[02:19.76] In that new promised land
[02:23.38] Maybe there we can find
[02:25.76] A good place to use a lovin' state of mind
[02:29.53] I'm so tired of being without it
[02:31.86] And never known what love's about
[02:33.49] Vince Henry, you can come on in man here
[02:35.29] You can blow now if you want to, I'm through
