I've got something to tell you that I think you ought to know
That my eyes are on you baby since a long time ago
Now I've finally got the nerve and I'm gonna make my move
Now don't you try to turn me off 'cos it's gonna be hard to do
I've got a thing about you baby, ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby, a thing about loving you


There ain't no two ways about it baby your love was meant for me
Know that I can't do without it, it fits me to a T
Ooh there's something about you baby, can't get you off my mind
Know that I can't live without you, I think about you all the time
I've got a thing about you baby, ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby, a thing about loving you


Ain't it just like a woman when she knows she's got a man
She'll wring you out and turn you about in the palm of her hand
Then she'll stop and think that maybe she'll put you in a bind
She'll give you just a little love and it'll drive you out of your mind
I've got a thing about you baby, ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby, a thing about loving you


I've got a thing about you baby, ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby, a thing about loving you
I've got a thing about you baby, ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby, a thing about loving you
