Lyrics

Mama told me that some day it would happenBut she never said that it would happen like thisPapa said, “Look out, some girl’ll catch you nappin’Some little girl will get to you with her kiss”You got to meYou brought me to may kneesNever thought I’d say please, girlYou got to my soulYou got controlYou got to me, you got to be mine
Used to slip though every girl’s hand like waterThere never was one who could ever tie me downStraight ahead and steady as Gibraltar‘Til you brought me tumblin’ to the ground
You got to meYou brought me to may kneesNever thought I’d say please, girlYou got to my soulYou got controlYou got to me, you got to be mine
