I Got the Will Songtext

von Otis Redding

The girl I used to love she up and left me
I'm try?n? to get her back she won't accept me
But I've got the will
But I can't find my way now

My momma told me the old saying is
If there's a will, son,
There's got to be a way now
Momma, I've got the will
But I can't see my way now
This is what she told me

You got the will, son,
You got the power, now
You got everything
Lord, have mercy, now

Every second, baby, and every minute, honey
Every hour I'm always thinking of you
I've got the will
But I can't find my way now

I know I need you, baby
I really love you, honey
I really want, I got to, got to see you
Baby, I got the will
But I can't find my way now

I got the will, honey,
I got the power, now
I got everything
Lord, have mercy now

Baby, baby, you know I need you
Baby, baby, you know I love you
I got the will
But I can't find my way now

My momma told me...
... (see verse 1)
(chorus 1)...You got everything
Good gracious mighty, no no

Repeat ad lib and fade
