BABY YOU GOT ME GOIN’

This song comes from my Surplus and Dearth album. I’d bought a little drum machine preloaded with drum patterns and I just started playing along with the feel. Under the ‘Dave Warner’ banner most of the love songs I write are on the darker side emphasising need, faded or unrequited desire, and even psychopathology (Doesn’t She Look Fine). The genuinely happy ‘isn’t love amazing’ songs I write are pretty much with other artists in mind,.

I like the groove in ‘Baby You Got Me Goin” and getting ‘footstool’ and ‘knave’ into a song. Martin Cilia produced, programmed and played most intruments.

BABY YOU GOT ME GOING (1989)

Baby you got me going  Baby you got me going good

I should have known I should have known

I should have gone and knocked on wood

But late at night when the moon is bright

There’s no time to doubt

And later on when it’s all been done

It might seem wrong but it still was fun

Baby you really had me going  Baby you know I was your dupe

You had me waiting by the phone

You had me jumping through the hoop

Guess I must have looked a clown but I don’t bear no grudge

I got burned and I got learned

But I’d repeat it all if you just gave the call

I’d be your fool babe and I’d be your knave and

I’d be your footstool and I’d be your slave

I’d be anything you want any time you gave the word

You took my soul in the trick moonlight

I never did so wrong but felt so right

Baby you got me going  Baby you got me going good

I should have known I should have known

I should have gone and knocked on wood

But late at night when the moon is bright

There’s no time to doubt

And later on when it’s all been done

It might seem wrong but it still was fun

I’ll be your fool babe and I’ll be your knave and

I’ll be your footstool and I’ll be your slave

Riff

I’ll be your fool babe and I’ll be your knave and

I’ll be your footstool and I’ll be your slave
