Lyrics

INSPIRATION/LOVE IN A BAG
music & lyrics by Sam Cooper

People, you can try for those things you desire, you just need some inspiration.
Just sing like your soul is in the heart of a great gospel choir?sing with some inspiration.
Now the only way that man can survive,
Is to realize what joy it is to be alive,
Got some inspiration,
You got to have an inspiration.

(chorus) I?ve got your love in a bag,
I ain?t gonna let it slip out,
I?ve got your love in a bag,
Whoa, that brings me luck and that?s what I?m all about.

My lucky seven comes up time after time when I know you?re right by my side.
It?s true, I?ll never lose, but chance ain?t the answer,
Long as you?re in my sack, I can let it ride?(chorus)

I don?t go foolin? around with no other women, I ain?t no rat while the cat?s away,
Your love means more to me than a diamond jubilee,
And if they ask what?s in my sack, I?ve got to say?(chorus).

(bridge) I?m smooth at cards, but I?m lucky at love,
You fit my style, like a hand fits a glove,
Now that I?ve got you, I don?t need no rap,
Just the catch I caught in my tender trap?(solo section)

I?m not possessive, but I don?t budge an inch when I know I?ve got something good,
And since I found you, I?ve been tryin? so hard,
To keep your love in my little brown bag like I know I should?(chorus and vamp)

Great Gospel influenced track. Gives me a lot of cool 60s/70s vibes with what sound like a pseudo modulation at 3 minutes to keep it that much more interesting.

I Love Love Love this defiantly the roots of Gospel music you can't go wrong with Quartet music its a never ending sound that will be around for decades great job fellas and keep on making quality music 5stars

Very nice vocal performance. Great pitch. Surprising chord / key / transition changes, wasn't expecting that! Keeps the song fresh and grooved. Very nice recording, love the drums up high and tight with the bass guitar. The bassist has it on. I like the soulful intro, quite a contrast to the upbeat that follows. This song is absolutely awesome. Nice guitar rhythm and solo work. I'm walking around my house trying to come up with other things to say, either to commend or critique, and I find my self singing the chorus. Such an easy song to like!!

love THE CHORD CHANGES

I love the old school gospel/soul feel of this piece. The sounds are genuine, the singer is very good. This sound has great potential, it's been neglected for far too long.
