Peggy Scott-Adams - "Getting What I Want"

I'm getting what I want, I'm just not getting it where I want it from!  Wow, that is classic southern soul.  Don't you agree???  The melody is fantastic and the beat makes you want to get up and move.  It's great house party music!  This is the first Peggy Scott-Adams song I ever heard and I've adored it for years.  It never goes out of style. This is a timeless story of having that perfect man but not being totally happy because you really want that other guy.  So you settle for the one till you get the other.  Peggy's using Mr. Wrong while she's waiting for Mr. Right. Well, while I may not totally agree that doing wrong makes things right, she does say that all is fair in love and war.  Hmmm...  This is one of those songs that I play when I travel up and down the road; I'll hit repeat and let it roll.  You won't be surprised when I say that I love this song - I really do!

I’m getting what I want
I’m just not getting it where I want it from
I’m getting what I want
I’m just not getting it where I want it from

I’m in love with a man
But that man loves somebody else
But try to understand a woman must look out for herself
My body’s here with you but my mind is out there somewhere with him
But you know what they say
In love and war, all is fair
I don’t misuse you, I don’t even try
If I were you I would tell me goodbye

You’re a better lover baby than he’ll ever be
And boy you’re so fine
There must be something wrong with me
You do all the freaky things I wish that he could do
I must be insane loving him when I got you

You love me, I love him for myself

He loves her, she’s probably loving someone else
Still, I’m getting what I want
I’m just not getting it where I want I from
I’m getting what I want
I’m just not getting it where I want it from


If I were you I would tell me goodbye!
Enjoy!
