Somebody's Gettin' It
Johnnie Taylor · Eargasm [1976]
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
My eyes are open
I don't like what I see
Somebody's gettin' my action
Someone other than me
'Cause when I kiss you
It just ain't the same
You slipped the other night
And called me someone else's name
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
I thought I had you
In the palm of my hand
Tried to hide you from
All the other men
You knew I was tipping
With someone else
You gave me enough rope
To hang myself
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody done got it
And split the scene
I should've been home
If you know what I mean
Say it again
Somebody done got it
And split the scene
I should've been home
If you know what I mean
I should've been home
I was not around, yeah
Leaving you lonely
While I was having my fun
You refused to be lonely
Just waiting for me
So you found someone else
To keep you company
(Who done it?)
I don't know
(Lord)
But I sure would like to know
Messing round with my stuff
(Who done it?)
I don't know
But I sure would like to know
Well, well, well
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's gettin' it
Somebody's gettin' your love
Somebody's Gettin' It
Johnnie Taylor's 1976 recording of 'Somebody's Gettin' It' stands as a quintessential example of her mature soul style, blending smooth vocal delivery with lush orchestration. Released on the album Eargasm, the track exemplifies the lush, romantic sound that defined Taylor's later career, moving beyond the raw energy of her earlier work to embrace a more polished, R&B-inflected approach. The song captures the essence of late-night intimacy and longing, characteristic of the soft soul and doo-wop revival trends of the mid-1970s. As part of her extensive discography, the recording showcases her ability to convey deep emotion through subtle phrasing and rich harmonies, cementing her status as a leading figure in the contemporary soul movement of the era.
