Ten Percent Lyrics - Grandmaster Flash

Ten percent of something 

(Ten percent of that something) 

Ten percent of something 

It beats one hundred percent 

Of nothing at all 

I only see you 

Maybe once or twice a week 

(Once or twice a week) 

You make it worth my while 

You treat me like a king 

(Treat me like a king) 

I cherish any time 

That I can spend with you 

Just say the words 

And I'll do anything 

But you must be true, oh 

Ten percent of something 

(Ten percent of that something, baby) 

Ten percent of something 

It beats one hundred percent 

Of nothing at all 

Ten percent of something 

(Ten percent of that something, baby) 

Ten percent of something 

It beats one hundred percent 

(Oh, oh, baby) of nothing at all 

I do not like those guys 

Who try to get all they can 

(To get all they can) 

Cause when it's over 

They're right back where they began 

(Back where they began) 

It's better to have loved 

Than never to have loved at all 

(To have loved at all) 

I'm with you til the water runs uphill 

Ten percent of something 

(Ten percent of that something, baby) 

Ten percent of something 

It beats one hundred percent 

Of nothing at all 

Ten percent of something 

(Ten percent of that something) 

Ten percent of something 

(Is better than nothing) 

Ten percent of something 

Ten percent of something 

(Than nothing at all) 

Ten percent of something 

(Now you only see me, baby) 

Ten percent of something 

(Maybe once or twice a week) 

Ten percent of something 

(But you treat me, treat me, treat me) 

Ten percent of something 

(Just like a dog instead of a king) 

Ten percent of something (oh, baby) 

Ten percent of something (oh, girl) 

Just say the word 

I'm not like those guys, love 

I try, try, try, try all I can, girl 

I'm gonna be with you 

Be with you til the water runs up hill 

Yes, I will, yes, I will, baby 

Said I'll cherish, I'll cherish 

I swear, my darling 

And I'll try my best 

To do the best, girl 

I need not one 

Not two, not three, baby 

I need ten percent, ooh
