Something You Got
Maxine Brown feat. Chuck Jackson Lyrics

The song "Something You Got" by Maxine Brown is a love song that exalts the virtue, value, and importance of the object of the singer's affection. The song has a simple and repetitive structure with the same verses and chorus being repeated, but the singer's passion and conviction are evident in each verse. The lyrics show that the singer is willing to work hard and put in long hours just to make the person they love happy. The song's catchy melody and rhythm make it easy to dance and sing along.

In the first verse, the singer makes it clear that the person they love has something that makes them work all day and brings home the pay. This 'something' is never explicitly stated, but it is clear that it is a positive force in the singer's life. In the second verse, the singer explains how this 'something' makes the world go round and keeps them home every night. It's obvious that the singer is completely enamoured with the person they are singing to as the chorus repeats the words "My my, whoa whoa, I love you so".

The song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus made it a hit in the 1960s, and it remains a popular song to this day. The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Chris Kenner, Alvin Robinson, and Wilson Pickett. "Something You Got" has also been featured in several movies and television shows, including the 1985 film "Desperately Seeking Susan" and the TV series "Supernatural".
