I Got You (I Feel Good) [James Brown]

I keep hearing this song on the radio (on a local college station) and it just gets stuck in my head.



I sang loud
My voice cut through the crowd
As if I was anybody that might have something to say
Standing tall I seemed to know it all
But the only thing I know is that I've never known someone like you
I'm gonna figure out how it is

I got you
I got you babe
I held you
And I lost you

Time stood still
And I had my fill
Of all the things we did
And all the things we could have done
Looking back would you
Cut me some slack
For all the times I left you when I should have stayed right by your side
I'm gonna figure out how it is

I got you
I got you babe
I held you
And I lost you

It reminds me an awful lot of M.Ward - who did this cover of David Bowie's Let's Dance. He's also 1/2 of the duo She & Him, with Zooey Deschanel. Here's a link to them performing on Conan: I Put A Spell On You.
