Got myself a woman…or I should say I try
To keep the faith ‘fore it gets too late
Hold her down when she wants to fly
Always tryin’ to tell me…how it ought to be
And if I treat her right then she won’t be the end of me
I don’t know why…
She cast my life in shame
But everytime she walk I seem to fall down on my honor
She’s got rhythm…rocks me to my soul
Hey!…the girl’s all right
She’s got rhythm…steers me when I roll
Hey!…the girl’s all right
What’s she tryin’ to say
Does she ever hear me at all
Everyday there’s somethin’ that she wants
Tells me things that I can’t recall
Nails me down—she’s a hammer
Can’t see no way out
Of all the ways you can run these days—you can’t out-run the mouth
I don’t know why
At times she can go on
But if by chance we meet I know
With her it won’t be wrong
She’s got rhythm…rocks me to my soul
Hey!…the girl’s all right
She’s got rhythm…scares me, then I know
Hey!…the girl’s all right
Sometimes I fail to notice…sometimes I play too rough
But when I feel I’m losin’ her
Well then I’ve had enough
Knows my limitations…and she always calls my bluff
I take back what I said tonight
She’s got rhythm…rocks me to my soul
Hey!…the girl’s all right
She’s got rhythm…scares me, then I know
Hey!…the girl’s all right
