GOT IT TOGETHER
(Charles W. Rainey)


The Chuck Rainey Coalition (Instr.) - 1969
Nancy Wilson - 1969


Well you can ask me 'bout the things you think I want, just ask me
I've got expensive things, even diamond rings by the basket
Ooooohhh, I've got it together, yes I have

And anytime you think you can make me blink, just try me
Because I've got it bad and I'm so glad
It keeps me goin' strong, I'm gettin' stronger

I am a self-made woman, I've got it together, yes I have, yeah-yea-ah
I've got my head in the air and I don't care if I show it, no-no
I'm strictly continental, yes I am

I started from the ghetto, I thought I'd better let you know it
'Cause there's a soul-stirrin' system for the soul seekin' sister
I got it, I show it, I know it, aaahhhh can't blow it

Yeah, I got all kinds of furs by the dozen
I don't need no handout, cousin

(Instrumental)

Upside down and inside out I'll concede it
Upside down and inside out I will concede it, I'll repeat it
Ooh, I've got it together, yes I have

I've made a resolution to keep my constitution, it's no illusion
Because I've got it bad and I'm so glad
It keeps me goin' strong, I'm getting stronger

Ooh, I'm strictly continental, yes I am
Ooh, I'm strictly continental, yes I am
I've got it together, yes I have
I've got it together, yes I have
