Something 'Bout You - Kevin Welch, The Overtones

Something 'bout You

I don’t want nobody, better off alone

I’m sworn to independence and my heart is made of stone

but you’re breaking on through, something 'bout you.

I’ve been tapping my toes to the way you talk

I’ve been singing along when I watch the way you walk

I’ve got to do something 'bout you.

CHORUS: I’ve got this (place/life) of mine

It’s nice and quiet and I like it fine

I work real hard, got no time for you

But I whiskied up my coffee cup

I’m sitting here trying not to call you up

And it’s getting to where I don’t know what to do

Something 'bout you.

Something about you like distant thunder

I can say I ain’t been warned

But there’s no shelter to crawl under

That’s ever gonna save me from this storm.

Something 'bout you, I can’t shake

There’s something 'bout you

That’s been keeping me awake

The whole night through

Something 'bout you.
