Words & Music: Tony Joe White
I've got something to tell you
That I think you ought to know
That my eyes are on you baby
Since a long time ago
And now I fin'ly got the nerve
And I'm gonna make my move
Now don't you try to turn me off
Cause it's gonna be hard to do

I've got a thing about you baby
Ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovin' you

Ain't it just like a woman
When she knows she's got a man
She'll wring you out and turn you 'bout
In the palm of her hand
And then she starts to thinkin'
Then maybe she's put you in a blind
She'll give you just a little lovin'
It'll drive you out of your mind

I've got a thing about you baby
Ain't nothing you can do
I've got a thing about you baby
A thing about lovin' you
Recorded: 1973/07/22, first released on single

Great song and a great track recorded in July '73 at Stax studios. Elvis is again laid back on this track as he was on a lot of the songs from this session and I think he was going for a funky, laid back sort of sound for this LP. Something different than his country LP's from the early 70's and away from the rock sound of "Burning Love". I am not sure why this song and "Take Good Care Of Her" weren't the first single from this session and why they weren't included on the LP "Raised On Rock".
