lyrics
There is something about you girl that stimulates my mind
And I got a funny feeling you’re gonna be mine
There is something about you girl I keep deep down inside
Have I got to hide my feelings for you to find
Cuz there is something so groovy in her eyes when she smiles and she looks past me but
My heart is in my mouth and I can’t make any room for the smile back at you girl ah…
Cuz baby I know and I’m telling you so
You gotta be mine or else I’m walking out that door
My head’s in my hands and my heart’s on the floor
So don’t be cold, it’s you I adore
And you’re gonna be mine I swear or I might die anywhere to beware
That you’re gonna be mine or else I dunno I swear to god I might die…
There is something about you girl that leaves me satisfied
And I got a funny feeling that I can’t deny
Cuz there is something so groovy in her eyes when she smiles and she looks past me but
My heart is in my mouth and I can’t make any room for the smile back at you girl ah…
Cuz baby I know that I’m telling you so that
You gotta be mine or else I’m leaving you alone
Don’t be so cold little girl
There’s a fire inside of my mind that keeps me going
It’s you I adore, don’t you understand what I’m crying, what I’m crying for,
You little girl cuz I’m losing my mind but you’re gonna be mine or else I might just die…

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin
