You Belong To Me
Kelly Family · Other Songs - Kelly Family
if you want
won't you take me in your arms
if you care, really care for me
why haven't you taken me in your arms.
You belong to me
Don't you know, how rare this is
You belong to me
Don't you know oh baby
Are you saying i made it all up
i'm loosing my self-esteem
am i ever going to see you again
i'm loosing my confidence
You're passing by (passing by)
leaving me behind (leaving me behind)
all my dreams now up the sky
why not me (why not me)
is it her cause (is it her cause)
should have told me long ago
You belong to me
Don't you know, how rare this is
You belong to me
Don't you know what it is
Don't you know that you're tearing my soul
how far do you want to go
but i'll get up and walk on and on
I'm a different woman now
You belong to me
Don't you know, how rare this is
You belong to me
Don't you know oh baby
Am i ever going to find you out there?
I'm loosing my confidence
You Belong To Me
Kelly Family's 'You Belong To Me' stands as a defining track within their extensive catalogue of traditional folk and gospel music. Recorded in the distinct style of early 20th-century American spirituals and work songs, the piece exemplifies the group's mastery of call-and-response structures and emotive vocal harmonies. As a staple of their repertoire, the song reflects the communal spirit often found in their other works, such as 'She's Crazy' and 'Brother Brother,' while maintaining the solemn, reverent tone characteristic of their genre. The recording captures the raw power of the ensemble, showcasing a musical tradition that prioritizes collective expression over individual performance. It remains a significant example of the family's contribution to the preservation and performance of historic American sacred music.
