(Northern) Soulklassieker: Things get better

Eddie Floyd, voor mij de ontdekking van 1967, met Aretha Franklin, maar die werd mij al snel te populair. Floyd is nooit zo ver gekomen.

You can bring joy
Like I never had
I’m gonna’ be right near you
As long as I can
That’s why
I can be lonely
But you can be found
And I ain’t lonely baby
You’re always around
That’s why
Things get better baby
When I’m with you
Things get better baby
When I’m with you

I can’t live without you
I know that you’re mine
I can’t lose this feeling
You stay on my mind
That’s why
Things get better baby
When I’m with you
Things get better baby
When I’m with you

Never in doubt about you
I know that’s enough
Don’t want to lose you baby
You stay on my mind
And that’s why
Things get better baby
When I’m with you
Things get better baby
When I’m with you


Eigenlijk uit 1966, in het VK aangeslagen na Knock on wood.
