Etta James I'm Gonna Take What He's Got song lyrics

He beat on me He cheat on me

He's mean to me ooo but he could be so sweet to me

My friends say I should give him up

But ohhhh I need him I need him a lot

That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it) take what he's got

He disowns me He's going to sleep

But when we're alone he tells me "I'm his very own"

Yes, he's got what I need but ohh I need what he's got

That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it) take what he's got

Ohhh my friends say he's no good

He's not worth the time of day

For he could be an ice man, trash man, a junk man any kind of man

But nothing can drive me away ohhhh

He cause me pain, you make me wait sometimes out in the rain

You can make me feel ashamed but I never dress the same

And I love him so much nothing can make me stop

That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it) take what he's got x2

Oooohhhh give it up give it up right now I'm gonna take it baby

(Take it take it) Take what he's got
