Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Something you got
Makes me work all day
Something you got
Makes me bring home a pay, yeah
[Verse 2]
Alright
Something you got
Oh, you oughta know
Well, I said mama
Oh, I love you so
[Verse 3]
Something you got
Keeps me home every night
Something you got
Makes everything alright
[Verse 4]
Something you got
Whoa, honey, you oughta know
I said mama
Oh, I love you so
[Verse 5]
Something you got
Oh, you oughta know
I said mama
Oh, I love you so
[Verse 6]
Something you got
Keeps me home every night
Something you got
Makes everything alright
[Verse 7]
Something you got
Honey, you oughta know
Alright now
I said mama
Oh, mama
Oh, mama
Oh, I love you so
[Verse 8]
Mama
Oh, mama, oh
Mama
Whoa
