I've never been one of those fans that moans about Elvis missing a chance to have another hit. After all, he had more than his share of hits in his 23 years of glory. Then there are songs like "I've Got a Thing About You Baby" that just make you scratch your head and wonder why they weren't bigger hits! Elvis certainly does a fine job with this infectious Tony Joe White shuffle, and the Stax Studios musicians ain't slackin' none. The only complaint I have is that, at less than two and a half minutes, it's all over way too soon! More to come later, meanwhile, check out the music and links! |
Other Spins(What did the critics and fans say?)"I've Got a Thing About You Baby" shows the influence of the Stax Studios. This unpretentious song gets a suitably gentle performance. At first, it appears ordinary, but soon the magic begins to work. Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley: A Study in Music, 1979 Commercial tune by one of Elvis' favorite C&W songsmiths.

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 |
