I met a man walking down the street, looking kinda rough, kinda incomplete,
He stopped and looked me right in the eye, said, "I don't know what you got, but it's something I need,"
I sat him down and said, "You...you wanna talk' I know what you want,"
He said, "I'm ready 'cause my life's off track, and the monkey on the loose is riding on my back."

Something you got, I want it, (I want it)
Something you got,
Something you got, I need it, (I need it)
Something you got.

I had a friend when I went to school,
I would tell him the truth, but he still broke all the rules,
I hadn't seen him, though I knew him well,
Now he's on my doorstep, ringing my bell,
Something's different, something's changed,
"I know why you came,"
For twenty years he let it pass him by, now he's looking real hard to get it right this time.

Something you got, I want it, (I want it)
Something you got,
Something you got, I need it, (I need it)
Something you got,
Something you got, I want it, (I want it)
Something you got,
Something you got, I need it, (I need it)
Something you got.

S-s-something you got, I want it, (I want it)
Something you got,
Something you got, I need it,
Something you got.

Something you got,
Something you got,
Something you got,
Something you got,
