Get That Girl

by Joe Jackson

on I'm The Man (1979)

Hey you
I'm dancin' with your girl
Her head is in a whirl
She don't know who to turn to

All right
I'll leave her just this time
But she could soon be mine
And I could soon be hers too

One night
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
I'm gonna make her mine

One night
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
I'm gonna make her mine

He sits there drinkin' gin and
She sits there drinkin' beer like me
He's timing every move but
She's only killing time like me

And of course
What will be will have to be
But I tread carefully
It could be a case of
Right place right time

Hey you
I'm dancin' with your girl
Her head is in a whirl
She don't know who to turn to

All right
I'll leave her just this time
But she could soon be mine
And I could soon be hers too

One night
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
And if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
I'm gonna make her mine

One night
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
And if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
I'm gonna get her
I'm gonna get her

Hey you
I'm dancin' with your girl
Her head is in a whirl
She don't know who to turn to

All right
I'll leave her just this time
But she could soon be mine
And I could soon be hers too

One night
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
And if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
I'm gonna make her mine

One night
Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
And if I'm lucky gonna get that girl
I'm gonna make her mine

Gotta get her, gotta get her, gotta get her
Gotta get her, gotta get her, gotta get her
I'm gonna make her
I'm gonna mer her mine
