Something Going On
Linear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everytime I think about you
More and more I grow to like you
Is obvious that I'm in love with you

I've been holding on for so long
Hoping you wouldn't talk to no one
'Cause girl, you know I want you to be mine
Why won't you give all your love to me?
(Oh won't you give me all your loving?)
Why do you treat me so bad?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

Everyday it's the same old story
I get the blame and you get the glory
No, no, baby, it's not like that
I gotta watch out for my own back

Now you're foolin' with another
When I see you face to face
No, I won't surrender
And no one take you place

----------------?
------? on your face
And no matter how hard you try, girl
----------------?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

Why won't you give all your love to me?
(Oh won't you give me all your loving?)
Why do you treat me so bad?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

What you got going on, going on?
What you got going on, going on?
What you got going on, going on?
What you got going on, going on?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

Is there something going on that
I should know about you and me?
Is there something going on
Won't you please tell me?

Is there something
Is there something
Is there something
Is there something going on
