Alright
Jay
From da top
Girl I just wanna work it out
I'm in love with you no doubt
And I hate to see you down
So I'm asking can we
Get it together
Get it together
We can work it out I just want you by my side
Yeah
But, I really need to know is can we get it together
Get it together
Desperate for love not falling in love again
(I'm not)
I tell her it's troubling
No looking back on all of the shit that I said
It had gone to your head
You keep calling me everything but, my government
(Like I hate that shit)
And then on some other shit
Thought what we had was special I tell her that may have been true
But, we been on some other shit
You say you don't care well I'm really just loving it
You say that you ain't been with that nigga
You say he your family oh yeah
On some brother shit
I see the pot
This shit heating up this shit is bubbling
I guess I got to go harder and double it
I had to turn up and get back that other shit
What are we talking about anymore
I don't even know anymore so
Girl I just wanna work it out
I'm in love with you no doubt
And I hate to see you down
So I'm asking can we
Get it together
Get it together
Get it together
We can work it out I just want you by my side
Yeah
But, I really need to know is can we get it together
Get it together
Oh yeah
You acting real light skin on this one right here
Can we get it together
Shit nigga I knew your were light skin
But, I thought you was Chris brown light skin
I guess your like Jordan Poole light skin
Shit you keep this shit up I'm a turn to Draymond
I am not honest now with none of my women
None of them
Saying some things to make me feel different
Lhey was the one but, something was missing (she was)
Known too go ghost it's something I do
So many choices don't know what to do
I'm Stuck in between don't know how to move (don't know)
We never had worked so I go through the pain
Spinning again there's nothing to gain (nothing to gain)
Even when I'm am too win I still feel like I am to lose
Damaged and bruised
My trust is misused
But, I can't even lie
I'm used to this I just go through it happens like all of the time
I was careless and blind
I thought I was fine
Till I'm taking a look of the people around they finally look happy
I know that I said I'm not lookin for love
But, I want it with you
I want it with you
I did
Can we get it together
Can we get it together

Damaged and bruised
Emotionally harmed and hurt
My trust is misused
My trust is taken advantage of
But, I can't even lie
But, I cannot deny
I'm used to this I just go through it happens like all of the time
I am accustomed to this, I just experience it frequently
I was careless and blind
I was not attentive and oblivious
I thought I was fine
I believed I was alright
Till I'm taking a look of the people around they finally look happy
Until I observe the people around me and see them finally appearing happy
I know that I said I'm not lookin for love
I know I mentioned that I am not searching for love
But, I want it with you
But, I want a relationship with you
I did
I truly did
Can we get it together
Can we reconcile
Can we get it together
Can we reconcile

Met him today at work. Can't believe it when he initially told me he was a musician. I am so glad I checked him out in YouTube. Helped him with his phone issues, and he said "I cant live without music". Now I got it.

Andrew- For a 1977 lp this cooks right along and doesn't sound dated in the least. ln fact , quite the opposite! This music is so inventive while packing a nice punch that the music company who put this out originally is missing the boat by not re-releasing it on cd. I am a tad bit envious of you, Andrew , but my thanks for sharing such a exceptional recording !

Hey Andrew, Here's a Japanese import that might pique your interest. It took awhile to get mine from overseas but l am impressed. Rhythm Funk Masters " Afro- American- Artic " 2007. Kind of a mystery group supposedly originating from the Northern reaches and bringin' a little jungle heat to unthaw some mucklucks with Dancin' Fever. If this don't do it, perhaps nothing will. Enjoy! Yer Musical Bud, Jonathan
