I Got a Woman
Soulful Serenade: Love's Morning Embrace in Elvis Presley's Melody
Lyrics
Well, I've got a woman
Expressing ownership and affection towards a woman.
Way cross town
Describing the woman's location as being far away in the town.
She's good to me oh, yeah
Acknowledging that the woman is good to the speaker.
Say. I've got a woman
Reiterating the speaker's possession of a woman.
Way cross town
Repeating the idea of the woman being located across town.
She's good to me oh, yeah
Reiterating that the woman is good to the speaker.
She's here in the morning
Highlighting the woman's presence in the morning.
Loving me
Describing the woman's affection in the morning.
Yeah, she's a kind of friend to me
Emphasizing the woman's role as a friend to the speaker.
She says she love me early in the morning
Quoting the woman expressing love early in the morning.
Just for me
Clarifying that the woman's love is exclusively for the speaker.
Oh, yeah you know she loves me
Confirming the woman's love for the speaker.
Oh, naturally
Stating that the woman's love is natural and genuine.
She's there to love me both day and night
Expressing that the woman is consistently there for love day and night.
No groans or fusses, treats me right
Describing the woman's positive behavior, no complaints or arguments.
Never running in the street
Emphasizing the woman's commitment to staying at home.
Loving me alone
Highlighting the woman's exclusive love for the speaker.
She knows a woman's place is around home at night
Stating traditional gender roles, implying the woman's place is at home.
Well, she's my baby
Declaring a personal connection with the woman as "my baby."
And I'm her loving man
Affirming a mutual loving relationship between the speaker and the woman.
