I'm Gonna Take What He's Got Lyrics - Tell Mama: The Complete Muscle Shoals Sessions - Etta James

He beat on me He cheat on me 

He's mean to me ooo but he could be so sweet to me 

My friends say I should give him up 

But ohhhh 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 ohh I need what he's got 

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

Ohhh 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 ohhhh 

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 x2
