Something
Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
The lyrics of "Something" are a beautiful portrayal of a person's love and devotion to their partner. The song is about a woman who has a unique way of moving and wooing her partner, something that he finds attractive and compelling. He does not want to leave her as he believes in her and what she means to him. There's something in her smile that tells him that he doesn't need anyone else, something in her style that confirms his love for her.
The singer is uncertain about the future of their relationship but is willing to stick around and see where it goes. All he knows is that there's something in the way she knows him and the things she shows him that makes him want to stay with her. The song is a testament to the beauty and complexity of love and the various ways in which it can manifest itself.

Chet and Jerry pick on the Beatles. In this case it's one of George's song. Great picking. Thanks for this music on YT.

Any time either of these two playing, I stop to listen.

Two Masters of guitar! Beautiful! Just to mention, the title should be just 'Something' (written by George Harrison). 'Something in the way she moves' is written by James Taylor.
