The Soulful Shack Songtext
von Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

(Come, ooh)
(Come on, come on, come on)

Around the corner from my block
A-there′s a place with a private knock
Where I know we can really rock
Ah, and they open at nine o'clock
Most every night

Now it′s not a place that everybody knows about
But once you get 'em in, it's hard to get ′em out

Of the Soulful Shack, yeah, yeah

Now people call it "The Soulful Shack"
Uh, once inside you′ll be dancin' back
If hunger makes you feel outta whack, baby
In the back you can grab a snack
At any time

Now if you don′t wanna go, I can't make you
But if you do wanna go, I′m here to take you


To the Soulful Shack, come on babe
(Come on, come on)
Come on, everybody (come on)
To the Soulful Shack
Oh, now wanna oh-oh

Ah, come on to the Soulful Shack
Baby, don't you wanna be included?
Where the lovers sit, is all candlelit
And your privacy is never intruded
Because only the in-crowds allowed
I′m trynna tell ya', only the in-crowds allowed
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I'd enjoy your company (come on)
Baby, why don′t you come with me?
Oh, how happy you could a-be (come on)
Uh, after you get inside and see, oh yeah

That you′re part of a special clientele
Who knows what's happenin′ and knows it well

It's the Soulful Shack, yeah yeah


(Come on and go to the Soulful Shack)
Baby, don′t you wanna go?
(Come on and come to the Soulful Shack)
You wanna join and I know
(Come on and go to the Soulful Shack)
Soulful, Soulful Shack
(Come on and go to the Soulful Shack)
Once you go, you're goin′ back
