The song "Something You Got" by Fats Domino is a love song that is simple and direct, but at the same time full of passion, energy, and soul. The lyrics express the singer's infatuation and admiration for someone special who possesses qualities that make him work hard and bring home his pay. The person has something that the singer is unable to articulate, but knows that it is the reason why he is happy at home and why the world keeps turning. The refrain "I say my my wo oh I love you so" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the depth of the singer's feelings.
The song's lyrics may seem straightforward, but it is interesting to note that the song's composer and writer, Chris Kenner, was known for his play on words and double meanings in his lyrics. For example, the line "Make me work all day" can be interpreted to mean that the person is a hard worker, but also that they make the singer work hard to win their affection. Similarly, the line "Make me bring home my pay" can be seen as a literal request, but also implies that the person motivates the singer to achieve success and prosperity.
