You get to me
And it’s been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can’t believe
How you get to me.

Night after night
I’ve tried holdin’ you tight
And then I’ll stay away.
I’ve tried holdin’ your hand,
Bein’ your man
And just anyway.
When it comes down to feelings
It’s always the same old song,
My poor hearts just reelin’
But you act like something’s wrong.

You get to me
And it’s been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can’t believe
How you get to me.

If I could cry,
Bring a tear to your eye,
Maybe that’s the way.
‘Cause were in the strains
Of livin’ your pains from yesterday.
Really got to keep on growin’,
Lookin’ for the brighter day.
Like the water that keeps on flowin’
Well, I just can’t stay away.

‘Cause, You get to me
And it’s been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can’t believe
How you get to me.

Oh, you get to me
And it’s been plain
Enough to see
That you get to me,
You just can’t believe
How you get to me…
