Lyrics He's Got Me Goin' - Original - Bessie Smith

He's Got Me Goin' - Original

Don’t know what come over me
Done lost my self control;
He’s the sugar in my tea
The jelly in my roll!
Got me goin'
He’s got me goin'
But I don’t know where I’m headed for!
Gee, I’ve got a lovin' man
One o' them handsome brutes
He’s built 'ccordin' to a plan
Too bad when it suits
Got me goin'
He’s got me goin'
But I don’t know where I’m headed for!
I can’t sleep a doggone wink
Unless he’s by my side;
Mind’s so different I just can’t think
Without my easy ride!
Got me goin'
He’s got me goin'
But I don’t know where I’m headed for!
Lay and listen to the clock
Ticks loud as a drum
Hear the crowing of a cock
Still my man ain’t come!
Got me goin'
He’s got me goin'
But I don’t know where I’m headed for!
Wouldn’t be no two-time gal
Just one man’s enough
I don’t need no two men 'cause
My one man knows his stuff!
Got me goin'
He’s got me goin'
But I don’t know where I’m headed for!
Got a heart but just one man
Knows how to get to it
For he’s got the only key
That’s a perfect fit!
Got me goin'
He’s got me goin'
But I don’t know where I’m headed for!
'Fraid to adverise my man
Simply scared to death!
These girls just hear 'bout him
And tryin' for they selfs
Got me goin'
He’s got me goin'
But I don’t know where I’m headed for!
