Blood, Sweat & Tears - Somethin's Goin' On lyrics

rate me

(Al Kooper)

You know I woke up this mornin' people

the first thing I did was to look into your eyes

and in that space where I used to find so much truthfulness

there was a stone cold pack of lies

You know that somethin' goin' on

Somethin' goin' on but I don't know what it is

Somethin's goin' on people

All right

I went on down to the mailbox

seems I got the phone bill yesterday

charging me for some hour conversation

from someone in L.A.!

I know there's somethin' goin' on

Somethin' goin' on,

but I don't know what it is.

Somethin' goin' on, behind my back

I better get to the bottom of this

(Long Solos)

Now wait a minute!

I wanna hear you blow now

(Sax solo with counterpoint by Kooper)

Go ahead, go ahead

I want you to blow for all the men whose women who don't keep a true love now

I want you to blow for all the people who have to face an empty bed now

Go ahead, blow one for yourself

Blow one for me too

Yeah, listen

You got to love your woman in the morning

You got to love your woman every night

You got to love your woman all the time, and make her feel all right

You got to give her what she wants

When she wants it, how she wants it, and anytime she might think she wants it

ahhhhhhhhhhh

When your lovin' your woman people

Both you know the score

You know it makes a long-time man suspicious

To come home, to an unlocked door

Your bound to know, somethin' goin' on

Somethin' goin' on, but you don't know what it is

Somethin' goin' on people

I better get to the bottom of this, look out!

(Al Screams for a while until fade)
