Something About You
Vibrants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could have you to call my very own
I work my fingers to the bone, I am alone
To you I'd always come home
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you set my soul on fire
I need you, yeah, badly
I know what price I have to pay
'Cause without you, darlin', I'd worry hard
I love you anyway
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you're my only desire
I'm just yours puppet on a string
And tears sometimes it brings
Do me any way you wanna when you wanna
I'll keep you just the same
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
You're a real heartbreaker
You will never let me sit down
There's something about you, baby
That shakes me all up inside
You're a real heartbreaker
But I need you just the same

I remember as a little kid loving this song. I also remember my paternal grandmother, at a cafe in Melbourne, giving us some money and let us spend it on whatever we wanted. I spotted the jukebox , walked over spotted this song and away it went - magnificent !! - I must pay tribute to my grandmother who with great stoicism, put up with the beautiful noise from the jukebox !!!!

@dunbogan1
great song. makes me all nostalgic hearing all the 60's aussie groups
@ianfinch3127
Just another great Aussie band that seem to evolve from Adelaide in the 60s. It beats me how many there were considering the size of Adelaide compared to the east Coast. I wish we realised then how great our bands were at the time.
