Nights In Harlem Lyrics by Luther Vandross

Nights In Harlem Lyrics

    ft. Precise

    There's a party in Harlem, come on

    I like to reminisce about that night we kissed
    It was somewhere one night in Harlem
    The nights were hot and bright
    You could treat your honey right
    Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night

    The people there were really something
    (You know that's right)
    The music always kept us jumping
    And it used to knock me down
    When Smokey came to town
    (And the miracles, please)
    My favorite song was "Tears Of A Clown", oh yeah

    There ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
    They really shake the funk up there
    Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
    And I'm gonna take my baby back
    To the heart of Harlem

    Big sister had a group
    And they'd sit out on the stoop
    And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah)
    My cousin Joe could blow
    Just like the radio
    And he used to drove them "B" girls wild

    But when grandma started happy dancing
    (Oh, she gon' break somethin')
    She really turned the mother out
    I like the way they do it up in Harlem
    When there's a party up in Harlem
    That's what it's all about

    Ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem
    They never fake the funk up there
    I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
    And tonight I'm gonna take her back to the 'pollo

    There's a party in Harlem
    They say that all the stars will be there
    Everyone is going to Harlem
    Harlem is a party and everybody's going there

    [Precise]
    Follow me visually, cuz I usually be all around
    Originallly everybody headed uptown
    Finessing the fly way you crisin in your car
    On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R
    And yes, we are about to set it
    Forget it, I thought you knew
    The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew
    From BMW's to my daddy's Cadillac
    He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back
    Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance
    Who frontin' nonchallant up in the restaurant
    What you really really want, we grabbin by the clutch
    Precise can flaunt with this and never too much
    It's such a love flow, high but natural
    The thug's a no-show, and drugs a no-no
    The only thing that they was shootin' was pool
    While Harlem nights was right, the party was cool

    Nothing like them nights in Harlem
    They really shake the funk up there
    Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
    I'm gonna take my baby back to the heart of Harlem

    Nights in Harlem
    They never fake the funk up there
    I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem
    Back to the Harlem Apollo

    Nights in Harlem
    They don't let you fake the funk up there
    Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
    I'm gonna take my honey
    Back to the Harlem Apollow

    Nights in Harlem
    They really shake the funk up there
    Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem
    I'm gonna take my baby
    Back to the Harlem Apollo
