Lyrics Wilson Pickett

Wilson Pickett

Something Within Me

Something within me

I can't explain

Something within me, yeah

Oh, makes my heart in pain

Lord knows I don't know what it is

But it just won't let me be

No no, oh it's the love of my baby

Got a hold on me

Oh yeah

Something within me

I just can't keep it to myself, now

Oh, this thing in me

Makes me want to tell everybody else

Lord knows I don't know what it is, y'all

But oh, it just won't let me be, oh no

Oh, it's the love of my baby

Got a hold on me

Lord have mercy

Mmmm, yeah

Lord have mercy

Now let me tell you one more thing

This thing in me

It makes me just want to treat everybody right

You know I'd rob, steal, kill

I'd make any sacrifice, oh yeah

Lord knows I don't know what it is

But it just, it just won't let me be, oh no

Oh, it's the love of my baby

Hey, got a hold on me

Oh yeah, ha ha

Lord have mercy
