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
MM, 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
