Can someone help identify this Soul/Funk song?

Unfortunately the song actually being played in that Soul Train episode, which was the last episode of the 1991 season, was a song by B Angie B, and not the song playing in that youtube video.

Inputting the lyrics into something like shazam or soundhound gives me different artists sampling it, but not the original. It's like soul/funk/disco, though I'm not an expert of genres.

Three different artists have sampled the song. They are:

"Tony Tone - untitled ass intro". https://youtu.be/URGO9dgqmig?si=vDJWpgDoL-uub1JA

"Eli and Six the Northstar - Down & Out". https://youtu.be/nMgpnjEDCVg?si=Zmiqvsoze-MtoGLm

"Andy Ashley - Hope You Understand". https://www.amazon.com/Life-Unstable-Explicit-Andy-Ashley/dp/B083H4CX2S

Here are my butchered approximation of the lyrics:

Quote

 

Hey baby. How you doing? (?)

I know you don't want to see my face around here

Here I am anyway

See...

You was digging in my case so bad that I just had to split

And when I got out there... I find out

That I really love you

So here I am

I just got on the bus

Which means I gotta tell you (?)

I wanna be looking at you (?)

So if you sit down in that chair over there (?)

Baby I think (?)

 

(part of the chorus?)

Quote

 

And when I loved you,

you were down and out

I didn't really mean to

No no no

 

Does anyone know this song?

That is it! All the parts I was looking for, thank you Alan T! That's been driving me nuts so long.

 

I'll check out more Lou Rawls too. Thank you again!

Thanks go to Dylan for getting it, not me. I just put the video up.
