LOU RAWLS - SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE

I’LL SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE

LOU RAWLS

SONGWRITERS: Kenneth Gamble & leon Huff

COUNTRY: U S A

ALBUM: Unmistakably Lou

LABEL: PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL RECORDS

GENRE: R & B

YEAR: 1977

Unmistakably Lou is an album by American R&B singer Lou Rawls, released in 1977 on the Philadelphia International Records label. It was Rawls' second PIR album and performed respectably (#14 R&B and #41 pop), although its sales fell well short of his PIR debut All Things in Time. Only one single, "See You When I Git There", was released from the album in the US; alongside "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" and "Lady Love", it remains one of Rawls' best-known PIR songs. Like its predecessor, Unmistakably Lou is a well-regarded album for its mix of high-quality Philadelphia soul songs and other more jazz-influenced tracks (atypical and distinctive for a PIR production).

Pardon me, do you have change for a quarter?

I gotta make a phone call, thank you

Oh, I hope this woman don’t take me through no changes today

‘Cause I’ve had a hard day today, man, you know

Let me see what’s happenin’ at the address ‘fore I go home

                                                

How you doin’, I hope you’re fine

Did your day take you through changes and mess up your mind

I just called to say that I’m on my way

Whoa, and I’ll see you when I get there

I hope you’re in a good mood

You know a man’s home is his castle, and I’m comin’ home to groove

Whoa, and I’ll see you when I get there

I’ll see you when I get there

And you’ll be ready for good lovin’

You’ll be ready for good lovin’

‘Cause I’ve worked hard all day

Now I’m comin’ home to be with the one I love

Candlelight, cold wine, soft music on the radio

And you got everything you need from the store

‘Cause I’ll be in for the evening and I don’t wanna come out no more

Whoa, and I’ll see you when I get there

I’ll see you when I get there

And you’ll be ready for good lovin’

You’ll be ready for good lovin’

‘Cause I’ve worked hard all day

Now I’m comin’ home to lay and relax my mind

Whoa, I’ll see you when I get there

I’ll see you when I, see you when I get there, baby

[I’ll see you when I get there] I’ll see you when I get there

[I’ll see you when I get there] I’ll see you when I get there, baby

[I’ll see you when I get there] See you when I get there

[I’ll see you when I get there] See you when I get there, baby

Whoa, I’ll see you when I get there

I’ll see you when I get there

And you’ll be ready for good lovin’

You’ll be ready for good lovin’

‘Cause I’ve worked hard all day

Now I’m comin’ home to lay and relax my mind

Whoa, I’ll see you when I get there

I said I’ll see you when I get there, baby

I said I’ll see you when I get there

I said I’ll see you when I get there, baby

I said I might have to run all the way

Because the bus might be slow today

I’ve been thinkin’ about you all day long

And I just can’t wait to get home

I’ll see you when I get there

I’ll see you when I get there, baby

[You’ll be ready] I’ve been workin’ hard all day, you’ve been on my mind

[You’ll be ready] I can’t go on without you, darling, by my side

[I’ll see you when I get there] I’ll see you when I get there

[I’ll see you when I get there]

[I’ll see you when I get there] I’ll see you when I get there,baby
