Got to Get You Into My Life - Lyrics - Carmen Mcrae

Carmen Mercedes McRae was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record more than 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

I was alone, I took a ride I didn't know what I would find there Another road where maybe I Could see another kind of mind there Ooh, then I suddenly see you Ooh, did I tell you I need you Every single day of my life? You didn't run, you didn't lie You know I wanted just to hold you And had you gone, you knew in time We'd meet again, for I have told you Ooh, you were meant to be near me Ooh, and I want you to hear me Say we'll be together every day Got to get you into my life Got to get you into my life What can I do? What can I be? When I'm with you I wanna stay there If I am true, I'll never leave And if I do I know the way there Ooh, then I suddenly see you Ooh, did I tell you I need you Every single day of my life? Got to get you into my life Got to get you into my life I was alone, I took a ride I didn't know what I would find there Another road where maybe I Could see another kind of mind there And suddenly I see you And suddenly I need you Another road where maybe I Could see another kind of mind there
