about

...has an interesting story...started out as a Christian song entitled, "You Are The One" in the mid 1990's...secularized it for the album...(a la Ray Charles) into a romance...played around with the flattened fifth of an A9 chord to get that spooky quality...stole a lyric from Irving Berlin---can you tell which one?

lyrics

SOMETHIN’ ABOUT CHA’
You free me up inside--somethin’ I can’t deny
And you make it a brighter day
And I don’t know how else to say it
The way you sing off-key--the way you walk with me
And I don’t know if this is love
But it sure is a notch above with you
And there’s somethin’ about cha baby
You take away my blues
And there’s somethin’ about cha baby
Ain’t got nothin’ to lose
You know what? I think you see--the me inside of me
How come I feel this way?
And how come you came my way?
The way you laugh at lies--the way your laughter dies
And it seems like you know right away
The next thing I’m gonna say to you
[Chorus]
Takin away the blues in the nighttime
Takin away the blues in the day
Takin away the blues of a lifetime
You got the right time—you got the way
Yesterday there were rainy skies--they reflected in your eyes
And the wind it was in your hair--felt like I was really there
Who says you can’t believe in something you just can’t see
And love songs are hard to write
Hope I get this one right for you
[Chorus]
