Etta James – Take What He's Got 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
