What Am I Gonna Do With You - Barry White (1975)

For the life of me I can't make out what the singer is saying in the first :20 seconds...but it's sure damn catchy.

Many remember Barrence Eugene Carter's (Barry White) 1974 classic "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe" from his titled LP "Can Get Enough" but few recall this featured song as also being a major chart climber off the same album; peaking at #8 on Billboards Top 200 and #1 on their R&B charts was "What Am I Gonna Do With You".

White's recordings featured a distinctive sound that combined orchestral instrumentation with a steady drumbeat and as many as five electric guitars. His arrangements were influential on the emerging sound of disco music in the early 1970s.

What Am I Gonna Do With You beginning lyrics

You got me doin' it got me doin it!
You got me doin' it got me doin it!
You got me . . .
Oh Baby

On a separate note, if you put the words from Can't Get Enough of Your Love to this, you wouldn't know the difference. Almost the same exact song!
