(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
