Текст песни I'm Gonna Take What He's Got - Etta James

He beat on me
He cheat on me
He's mean to me
Ooh, but he could be so sweet to me

My friends say I should give him up
But oh, I need him, I need him a lot
That's why I'm gonna take it (take it, take it)
Take what he's got
He disowns me
He's going to sleep
But when we're alone
He tells me "I'm his very own"

Yes, he's got what I need
But oh, I need what he's got
That's why I'm gonna take it (take it, take it)
Take what he's got

Oh, my friends say he's no good
He's not worth the time of day
For he could be an ice man, trash man, a junk man any kind of man
But nothing can drive me away, oh!

He cause me pain,
You make me wait sometimes out in the rain
You can make me feel ashamed
But I never dress the same

And I love him so much
Nothing can make me stop
That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it)
Take what he's got

That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it)
Take what he's got

Oh, give it up, give it up, right now
I'm gonna take it, baby
(Take it take it)
Take what he's got
