The dark records gracing After Dark are old and new alike, with all genres of music welcome.  In the 39^th edition of After Dark (2022), we explore the naughty, risqué, & sexual vibes behind, 🎵 “U Got That Love (Call It a Night)” by 🎙 Gerald Levert. 

Theme & Lyrics ✍

“Baby, I think I’m coming home early / ‘Cause girl, my body’s yearning / For what you did last night.” Ooh wee, 🎙 Gerald Levert! If you need a great sex song, look no further than 🎵 “U Got That Love (Call It a Night)”.  “U Got That Love (Call It a Night)” appears on the late 🏆 Grammy-winner’s 2003 album, 💿 Stroke of Genius.  Arguably, “U Got That Love” is one of Levert’s steamiest records.  No, Gerald isn’t profane like the R&B musicians of today, but he does push the envelope – he’s risqué!  The chorus is EVERYTHING:

“(You’ve got that love)

That ‘It’s too good I don’t deserve it’ kinda love

(That kind of love)

That ‘girl, I’m calling in sick to work’ kinda love

(That L-O-V-E love)

That ‘sweaty funky dope’ kinda love

That’s what you got

That ‘call it a night’ kinda love

(You’ve got that love)

That ‘girl, slow down I’m ’bout to bust’ kinda love

(That kind of love)

That ‘don’t stop, girl, get it, get it’ kinda love

(That L-O-V-E love)

That ‘back it up, break it off, headboards knockin’ kinda love

That’s what you got

‘Call it a night’ kinda love.”

Damn Gerald! “‘Girl, slow down I’m ‘bout to bust’ kind of love,” huh? Woo! That’s only one of many steamy instances that goes down on this lushly produced slow jam (Levert and 🎛 🎼✍ Edwin “Tony” Nicholas).  Gerald kills it at the end of the first verse when he asserts, “‘Cause when you did it / Ooh, it didn’t make no sense / Cause girl you know… / That you sure got a nigga spent.” Then, there’s the second verse, when he states, ‘Baby, wish you could feel that what I was feeling / ‘Cause girl, when I’m inside you / Girl, I’m so complete.” HOLY F#¢KING MOLY – literally!

Final Thoughts 💭

Safe to say, the sex is L-I-T on 🎵 “U Got That Love (Call It a Night)”! The record precedes The Musical Hype and After Dark 🕛 🌃 in age, yet it’s tailor-made for it! Further amplifying the sex and sensual factor of this gem is the expressive, soulful performance by Levert.  May he rest in peace – he could absolutely blow!
