We Gotta Get You A Woman
Todd Rundgren Lyrics

Leroy, boy, is that you?
Addressing someone, questioning if they are the person in question

I thought your post-hangin' days were through
Assuming that the person had stopped engaging in reckless behavior

Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs
Describing the person’s appearance and demeanor

Tell no lies, you get wise
Encouraging honesty and learning from past mistakes

I tell you now we're gonna pull you through
Assuring that help is on the way

There's only one thing left that we can do
Implying that the situation is dire and requires action

We gotta get you a woman
Suggesting that finding companionship is necessary for fulfillment

It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
Arguing that a romantic connection is essential for feeling alive

We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now
Urging action over words

Leroy, boy, you're my friend
Emphasizing their friendship

You say how and I'll say when
Offering their help in any way they need it

Come and meet me down the street
Suggesting a location to meet up

Take a seat, it's my treat
Offering to pay for something

You may not ever get this chance again
Implying that this is a unique opportunity

That empty feeling's just about to end
Promising an end to feelings of loneliness or dissatisfaction

Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you,
Referring to a previous conversation topic

It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through
Suggesting that it’s important to follow through on ideas or beliefs

I got one thing to say, you know it's true
Asserting that they have valuable advice

You got to find some time to get this thing together
Encouraging action and self-improvement

Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
Referring to romantic interests

They may be stupid but they sure are fun
Admitting the potential silliness but enjoyment of romantic pursuits

I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Promising to share advice while they’re busy

Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we
Acknowledging a lack of time to spare

Got to get together with a woman who has been around
Describing desired qualities in a romantic partner

One who knows better than to let you down
Valuing reliability and dependability in a relationship

Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town
Expressing concern that finding someone may be difficult, but not impossible

And that she'll take some time to get this thing together, 'cause
Hoping that a potential partner will also work towards building a fulfilling relationship

To get this thing together, 'cause
Reiterating the need to work on building a successful relationship

And when we're through with you
Promising to help the person until they find a partner

We'll get me one too
Acknowledging their own desire for companionship
