Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes – She Got Me Where She Wants Me lyrics

(S. Van Zandt)

I know all you guys been talkin'
'Bout how I ain't hangin' out like I used to
But if you wonder why I ain't been coming around
Stayin' out late
It's 'cause I got somethin' at home keeping me straight

I want to tell you a story
I want to tell you all about my girl
She's the sweetest little woman in the whole dogone world
She said that she needs me, I know it's true
Nobody's ever loved me the way that she do

You know the little girl has got me where she wants me
Got me where she wants me
Got me where she wants me
And I don't mind
I don't mind

Is it the way that she walks?
No, but she moves so fine
Is it the way that she baby talks?
No, but you know that drives me out of my mind
She's tight dresses and lipstick - my style
Pretty little angel was born to make me smile

The little girl has got me where she wants me
Got me where she wants me
Got me where she wants me
And I don't mind

Early one morning I discovered that she opened my eyes
Hey pretty baby, are you looking for a lover?
Well, I want to give you the rest of my life
Listen to me, baby

She'll never turn her back and walk away
'Cause she knows I'm gonna love her each and every day
I'd even work two jobs and give her my money
Just because her love is so much sweeter than honey
Gonna love me right
She's my shelter and my light

You know the little girl has got me where she wants me
Got me where she wants me
Got me where she wants me
And I don't mind
Baby, I don't mind

I'm gonna work two jobs
I don't mind all
I've to give my baby my love
I've got to give her my love
'Cause she got got got got me
She got got got got me
She got me right where she wants me
And that's wehere I wanna stay
