You Knows What To Do

(album: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Barrett Strong - 2003)

You got me feeling bad
You always make me sad
You never treat me right
You always wanna fight
Still I love you so
I'll never let you go, no
You ain't no good, it's true
But you knows what to do
Aw yeah, you're alright
Oh yeah, you're alright

You always telling lies, and you're making me cry
You do me wrong, you stay away too long
I can't put you down
I gotta have you 'round, yeah
Because when I'm sad and blue
You knows what to do
Aw yeah, you're alright
Oh yeah, you're alright

My own mother said
That you were out of your head
And it couldn't be
That you are meant for me
But sheet fall
What you've been putting down, oh
I said, "Oh mama, oh, you don't know"
What she knows what to do
Oh yeah, she's alright
Aw yeah, she's alright

Oh yeah
My own mother said
That you were out of your head
And it couldn't be
That you are meant for me
But sheet fall
What you've been putting down, oh no
I said, "Oh mama, oh, you don't know"
What she knows what to do
Oh yeah, she's alright
Aw yeah, she's alright

The way you're loving me
You're alright
The way you hug-a-me
You're alright
The way you're kissing me baby
Baby, baby, baby
