I've Got a Thing About You Baby
Elvis Presley · Promised Land
IÂ’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
And now I finÂ’ly got the nerve
And IÂ’m gonna make my move
Now donÂ’t you try to turn me off
Cause itÂ’s gonna be hard to do
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
AinÂ’t nothing I can do
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovinÂ’ you
AinÂ’t it just like a woman
When she knows sheÂ’s got a man
SheÂ’ll wring you out and turn you Â’bout
In the palm of her hand
And then she starts to thinkinÂ’
Then maybe sheÂ’s put you in a blind
SheÂ’ll give you just a little lovinÂ’
ItÂ’ll drive you out of your mind
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
AinÂ’t nothing you can do
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovinÂ’ you
That I think you ought to know
That my eyes are on you baby
Since a long time ago
And now I finÂ’ly got the nerve
And IÂ’m gonna make my move
Now donÂ’t you try to turn me off
Cause itÂ’s gonna be hard to do
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
AinÂ’t nothing I can do
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovinÂ’ you
AinÂ’t it just like a woman
When she knows sheÂ’s got a man
SheÂ’ll wring you out and turn you Â’bout
In the palm of her hand
And then she starts to thinkinÂ’
Then maybe sheÂ’s put you in a blind
SheÂ’ll give you just a little lovinÂ’
ItÂ’ll drive you out of your mind
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
AinÂ’t nothing you can do
IÂ’ve got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovinÂ’ you
