I Got It Covered
Glenn Hughes · Play Me Out [1977]
I'll tell you somethin' that you ought to know
You really must know, you really must know
You really must know
I'll tell you somethin' pretty baby
That you ought to know right now
I've been lookin' for you sugar
Some place, some how
You really must know, you really must know
You tell me somethin' hot mama
Tell me somethin' right now
Been a long time gone last summer
Some place, some how
You really must know, you really must know
You really must know, know, know
You really must know
You really got it covered
Really got it, really got it covered
Covered, oh you got it covered baby
Lay it down on each other mama
Oh each and every night
Oh you better get ready
Looks like there's gonna be a fist fight
You really must know, you really must know, know, know
Know, know, know, know
You really must know, know, know, you really must know
I got it covered, either side of you baby, huh, huh, huh
Really got it covered, other side of you baby, huh, huh, huh
You really must know, you really must know
You really must know
I'll tell you somethin' pretty baby
That you ought to know right now
I've been lookin' for you sugar
Some place, some how
You really must know, you really must know
You tell me somethin' hot mama
Tell me somethin' right now
Been a long time gone last summer
Some place, some how
You really must know, you really must know
You really must know, know, know
You really must know
You really got it covered
Really got it, really got it covered
Covered, oh you got it covered baby
Lay it down on each other mama
Oh each and every night
Oh you better get ready
Looks like there's gonna be a fist fight
You really must know, you really must know, know, know
Know, know, know, know
You really must know, know, know, you really must know
I got it covered, either side of you baby, huh, huh, huh
Really got it covered, other side of you baby, huh, huh, huh
