Can We Get Together Again
Natalie Cole · Natalie Live! [1978]
We got to get together and do it all again some time
Though it's been quite a while since we've been together
I can't get you right off my mind
So, I'm simply asking you
Baby, can we get together?
Oh gee, can we get together again
I wanna know, when can we get together
Some day, some way
(Some day, some way)
You're a miracle boy, that's what you are
You're that part of me that I been missing
Before you came along I was alive, that's true
But I was just barely, barely attempting, yeah
Can we get together, baby, baby?
Please, can we get together again?
Oh, when can we get together?
Some day, some way
(Some day, some way)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You brought so much sunshine, yeah
Into this empty life of mine
I'm pray the day will call
When we get together again
Stop me from easing
And blocking and squeezing
Stop me from pushing
And loving, and pushing
Come on
(Can we get together?)
Yeah, yeah
(Baby, baby, please)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Can we get together again?)
You know that
You and me should be together
(When can we get together?)

(Get together again)
Oh, yeah, let's get together, yeah

Can We Get Together Again
Natalie Cole's "Can We Get Together Again" stands as a defining track from her 1978 live album, "Natalie Live!". Recorded during her early solo career, the song showcases her exceptional vocal range and emotional depth, blending R&B sensibilities with pop sensibilities that would characterize her subsequent work.
