Me and My Baby Got a Good Thing Going
[Intro]
Hey, yeah
I want all you proud sisters to stand up
I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight
Brothers and sisters
If you know you got your thing together
I want you stand on up
Now I got something to tell you
I told you how to think about it
And now I wanna tell how to get your thing together
So come on now and get a groove going
Stand up and clap your hands, y'all
Hit me now, hey

[Chorus]
Me and my baby got our own thing going
Me and my baby got it all worked out
Me and my baby got our own thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
Me and my baby got our own thing going
Me and my baby got it all worked out
Me and my baby got our own thing going
We don't need nobody to tell us what it's all about
