Naughty

Get Ready, Get Set

by Chaka Khan

on Naughty (1980)

Night's gonna fall
Letting the stars shine through and through
Time on the wall
Bringing me closer to the
One I want
I can't wait no more, no, no

Lost like a child
Even my knees are shaking
Caught for a while
Under a wave that's breaking
Over me
In his arms I float

When he looks at me this way
I know what he'll say

Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night

Here's something you can't forget
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget

I could try
Imagining something better than
You and I
Making sweet love together
Taking me much farther than before
When he looks at me this way
I know just what he'll say

Ooh Ooh
When he looks at me this way
I know just what he'll say

Na na na na
Na na na na

On Get Ready, Get Set by Chaka Khan

Was it the song you were looking for? Yes 🎊

This is nothing short of a miracle. Let me explain (to whoever might be curious). I was 11 or 12 years old at that time (I am 52 today) so almost 40 years later!!! My sister took a trip to NYC for the summer (we are from France). When she came back, she had that tape that a friend of hers recorded on the radio at that time. That song was on it. I played it over and over again. Yes, at 12 years old, I was already a funk freak, until one day, ma favorite tape disappeared, I had lost the tape with that song on it. And all I could remember, during all these years, was the chorus (all day all night) and that´s it. OK, considering how casual the lyrics are, there were over 1000 entries for the search, but with patience, I eventually found it. I feel I can die happy now.

I see what you mean. https://songsear.ch/q/all%20day%20all%20night 1,017 good matches for that 4 letter word combination.
If the search had an advanced option where you could have estimated the release year it could have helped to put in that it was first released somewhere near 1980 which was, believe it or not, 40 years ago.
