Al Green - You Ought To Be With Me

Sit right down and talk to me,
about how you want to be,
you ought to be with me,
ya, you ought to be with me.

Thinking about what people do,
talking about how I love you,
thinking there's nothing to what they say,
you ought to be with me, anyway.

They don't want to see us do,
all of the dumb things we want to,
you ought to be with me,
hey, you ought to be with me.

You don't have to waste my time,
if you want to be a friend of mine,
you can be denied and walk away,
and turn your back for another day.

You ought to be the kind of girl,
that can brighten up this old world,
and it's hard to see why you and me,
can't be together happily.

I'm trying to realize,
you being with some other guy,
I don't know the reason why,
you ought to be with me until I die.

It doesn't seem like I come across many singers today who can perform live at this quality

@Agent4Wisdom I think he's hypnotized them and they CAN'T move. They look very into him to me. He has everyone in that room's complete attention.

Another #1 hit for Al Green on the Rhythm & Blues charts. This was the 258th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #3 on the Top 40 charts.

I can't get this song stuck out of my head. This is a shot out to a friend of mine who I am in love with, a very special woman in my life that I can see spending all of eternity with like mentioned in this song. Tired of being friends, and I am tired of being alone, except she is in love with someone else. In love with another woman and it is breaking my heart. She said she is going to break up with her girlfriend, I hope she does I don't know what i'd do without her.
