Something About You
The Four Tops · Other Songs - The Four Tops
If I could have you to call my very own
I'd work my fingers to the bone, I'd never roam
To you I'd always come home
CHORUS:
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you set my soul on fire
I need you, yeah, badly
I know what price I have to pay
'Cause without you, darlin', I'd worry hard
I love you anyway
(chorus)
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you're my only desire
(sax solo)
I'm just yours puppet on a string
& tears sometimes it brings
Do me any way you wanna when you wanna
I'll keep you just the same
(chorus)
You're a real heartbreaker
You will never let me sit down
There's something about you, baby
That shakes me all up inside
You're a real heartbreaker
But I need you just the same
...& fade
Something About You
Released by The Four Tops, 'Something About You' stands as a quintessential example of their Motown soul and R&B legacy.

As part of the label's catalog of late 1960s and early 1970s hits, the song exemplifies the genre's focus on romantic longing and emotional depth. Its production features the tight, rhythmic instrumentation typical of the era, driving the narrative forward without relying on explicit lyrical exposition. The recording captures the group's ability to convey complex feelings through melody and collective vocal effort, cementing their status as one of the most influential acts in the history of American soul music.
