We gotta get you a Women-Todd Rundgren

We gotta get you a women
Todd Rundgren
(full song with lyrics)

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 were gonna pull you through,
Theres only one thing left that we can do.

We gotta get you a woman,
Its like nothin else to make you feel sure youre alive.
We gotta get you a woman,
We better get walkin, were wastin time talkin now.

Leroy, boy, youre my friend
You say how and Ill say when
Come and meet me down the street
Take a seat, its my treat
You may not ever get this chance again
That empty feelings just about to end.

Talkin bout life and what it means to you,
It dont mean nothin if it dont run through
I got one thing to say, you know its true
You got to find some time to get this thing together.

Talkin bout things about that special one
They may be stupid but they sure are fun
Ill give it to you while were on the run
Because we aint 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,
Lets hope theres still one left in this whole town,
And that shell take some time to get this thing together.

We gotta get you a woman
And when were through with you,
Well get me one too.

I always read this song from the last verse as he was putting his friends need ahead of his own,,something sort of wamn about that..."we got to get you a woman and then when we're thru with you..we'll get me one too"

Wauqhuelin- he is talking about his feelings toward a woman being stupid but fun- not the woman. This is a song about emerging romantic feelings in adolescence OK? Please stop insulting Todd simply because he has reached 60 years of age. Instead, check out what he has done over an amazing musical career.

Obviously he's not saying women are stupid, just as a comment to make his friend feel better. Even if it's considered sexist, it's definitely not as bad as it is in a lot music today

WHY DO YOU CRITISIZE SONG LYRICS? ENJOY!

The roller skating rink in Calhoun, GA, maybe 1971.. This was my favorite song to skate to.

Who cares if the lyrics DO make an off color sexist jab, it doesn't have to be politically correct! Things were different back then,,those who were there remember. We didn't take ourselves THAT seriously.

Just a wonderful infectious song that should be a classic... maybe it is? Todd is not calling women stupid any more than women call men dumb. Todd might not like his early ear candy but performers are not the best to evaluate their own best work. And this is special ear candy ..

[RetinendParadox]

@DJMeowMax exactly. Saying "women are stupid" or "men are stupid" is just something people say to cheer up their lovelorn friends. It's a song about friendship, after all; and a lovely one at that.

[Kingrizla2000]

Proof that at one time Todd wrote better pop songs than even Lennon/McCartney

[lebarosky]

His best tune far and away.
