Got To Get You Into My Life
Earth/Wind/Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe
I could see another sign there
Oo, then I suddenly see you
Oo, and did I tell you I need you
Ev'ry single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knewI wanna to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you
Oh, you were meant to be near me
Oh, I really want for you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you in, got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you in, got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, and did I tell you that I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you in, got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

Got to get you in, got to get you in
Got to get you in, got to get you in
Into my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you in, got to get you in
Got to get you in, got to get you in
Into my life




Got to get you into my life
Got to get you in, got to get you in

LYRICS
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

I like the fact they didn't try and "copy" the Beatles but did their own rendition and it cooked. There will never be another Earth, Wind, and Fire.

@RB-ux9bh

The background is that all the bands featured on the movie soundtrack had to cover a Beatles song...the rest is history.

@antoineemory6772

they did tha same wit cant hide love by creative source and made it their own.

@EarthWindandFirepower0990

AMEN

@lisagarvey1330

It's hard to believe how they somehow made a Beatles song into their own but they surely did, just unbelievable, thank you EWF forever...

@ramonsanpedro443

And yet, for every sale of the EWF version, royalty is paid to the real composer(s). So stop dreaming that EWF owns this song!

@vincentberte7675

@Ramon San Pedro no shit Sherlock

@petercolledge2236

Joe Cocker perhaps? and this EWF cover is great.
