"We Gotta Get You A Woman (circa 1970)" - Todd Rundgren

Ball State University

Muncie, Indiana

Freshman Year

1969-1970

Davidson Hall

9th Floor

Or was it my Sophomore Year

1970-1971

Davidson Hall

7th Floor

We would go to "The Dug Out."

the place to get hamburgers, fries, Cokes, etc

that was built beneath the dorm complex.

Put some coins in the "juke box"

and I'd play this.

Sure got me through a lot of dark times.

Now that I think of it,

I'll bet it was my Freshman year . . . 

I was really missing someone

who was still back in high school.

When I hear those first 3 notes, I always smile.

 

"We Gotta Get You A Woman"

Leroy, boy, is that you?

I thought your post-hangin' days were through

Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs

Tell no lies

You get wise

I tell you now, we're gonna pull you through

There's only one thing left that we can do

We gotta get you a woman

It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive

We gotta get you a woman

We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Leroy, boy, you're my friend

You say how and I'll say when

Come and meet me down the street

Take a seat

It's my treat

You may not ever get this chance again

That empty feeling's just about to end

We gotta get you a woman

It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive

We gotta get you a woman

We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you

It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through

I got one thing to say, you know it's true

You got to find some time to get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you a woman

It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive

We gotta get you a woman

We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout things about that special one

They may be stupid, but they sure are fun

I'll give it to you while we're on the run

Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause

We got to get together with a woman who has been around

One who knows better than to let you down

Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town

And that she'll take some time to get this thing together, 'cause

Get this thing together, 'cause

Get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you a woman

We gotta get you a woman

We gotta get you a woman

And when we're through with you

We'll get me one too
