Lyrics
Mama told me that some day it would happenBut she never said that it would happen like this Papa said, “Look out, some girl’ll catch you nappin’ Some little girl will get to you with her kiss” You got to me You brought me to may knees Never thought I’d say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mineUsed to slip though every girl’s hand like waterThere never was one who could ever tie me down Straight ahead and steady as Gibraltar ‘Til you brought me tumblin’ to the groundYou got to meYou brought me to may knees Never thought I’d say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mine
