You Ought To Be With Me

Al Green · Collectors Edition [2007]

Sit right down and talk to me

About how you want to be

You ought to be with me

Yeah, you ought to be with me



Thinking about what people do

Talking about how I love you

Thinking there's nothing to what they say

You ought to be with me anyway



They don't want to see us do

All of the dumb things we want to

You ought to be with me

Hey, you ought to be with me



You don't have to waste my time

If you want to be a friend of mine

You can be denied and walk away

And turn your back for another day



You ought to be the kind of girl

That can brighten this old world

And it's hard to see why you and me

Can't be together happily



I'm trying to realize

You being with some other guy

I don't know the reason why

You ought to be with me until I die



You ought to be with me until I die



I don't want to waste my time

If you want to be a friend of mine

I want to hold you tight, love you right

Put good feelin' in your night
