Ever had a hot date, one a those can't wait Things go a little too far In the middle of a good night have you ever got right In the back seat of your car? I said, stand up, have you ever been there? Stand up, identify Stand up, tell us all about it Stand up, testify Ever met a woman, late night roamin' Party 'til your money was gone A smiling Mona Lisa, loaded up your visa And took a bartender home I said, stand up if you ever been there Stand up, identify Stand up, tell us all about it Stand up, testify Thought I was a He-Man, do it just for me, man Knew just what to do Thought I was a hero, she rated me a zero Said, "Honey, child you ain't through" I said, stand up, have you ever been there? Stand up, identify Stand up, tell us all about it Stand up, testify Stand up, have you ever been there? Stand up, identify Stand up, tell us all about it Stand up, testify Stand up if you ever been there Stand up, identify Stand up, tell us all about it Stand up, y'all testify Stand up
