James, Tommy - Gotta Get Back To You Lyrics
Fortunata woman,
you know I wanted to fly,
make it by myself alone.
Now I'm lookin' for a man
with a silver dollar shoeshine,
Listen to me, woman,
now can't you hear me callin',
I've got a lot of love to do.
Don't you know I'm gonna cry some,
I know I'm gonna die some,
I gotta get back to you.
[Chorus:]
Gotta get back, gotta get back,
Gotta get back,
gotta get back,
gotta get,
gotta get back to you.
Fortunata woman,
the monkey man's dead
and the junkie didn't get too far.
But I'm singin' my song,
'cuz I got my head,
and my bed, and my red guitar.
I'm a-rollin' down the highway,
now don't you get in my way,
Mister, I'm a comin' through.
Well, I know I'm gonna cry some,
you know I'm gonna die some,
I gotta get back to you.
Gotta get back, gotta get back,
gotta get, gotta get back to you.
Gotta get back,
gotta get back,
gotta get,
gotta get back to you.
Gotta get back, gotta get back,
gotta get, gotta get back to you.
Gotta get back,
gotta get back,
gotta get,
gotta get back to you.
[Repeat until fade out]

James, Tommy Gotta Get Back To You Comments
Like Paul's "Got to Get You into My Life," this song is about drugs.
@ hifrom mike, gave it a listen and made it .to my play list. Thanks Mike. These songs are a testimony for me, How drugs played a huge part in my life. Not any more, I dont like drug abuse. Some can use Rec. others can not. Praising and reading daily, God willing. God Bless all reading.
@Mr. Jones Tommy collapsed on a concert stage & nearly died. He changed his life, ended his work w/ the Shondells, & went solo, producing his Jesus album, Christian of the World (1971), which rebooted his career w/ "Draggin' the Line." If you don't know that album, I recommend it. It's fantastic.
@hifrom mike , Thanks Mike. I guess when we get older life means more. God willing I read daily. Tommys' music I remember from childhood. Yesterday I made a play list of him. ? and the Mystr. "96 Tears one hit wonder. I didnt know where to put it. It went in Tommys' list. Im going to see the Alb. Thanks.
@hifrom mike ,Thanks Mike viewed and listened. On the play list, Im 60 I might have heard the Lp. But dont recall, Alright! God Bless.
Thanks for listening. It's a favorite of mine. "Bits & Pieces" & "Adrienne" are big w/ me, & of course I love "Draggin' the Line."
To say that this man's contributions to American pop/rock'n'roll were incredibly underestimated is an incredible understatement.
Mo Levy's golden goose.
Tommy carried the singles industry on his back throughout the sixties.
And he's still rocking.
P.S. Read his book about the American pop music industry and the Mob.
Highly recommended.
Rock on MrJames.

coolest song back in school days
the song is from the Travelin album
This hit by Tommy James and The Shondells went to #16 in Canada, but did not make the Top 40 in the US. I saw Tommy James in May 1980 at the Carowinds Amusement Park Paladium on the NC/SC border near Charlotte.
This is the funkiest Tommy James tune I've ever heard! Anybody know what album it's from?
Travelin'
Love this song. So glad to see it finally on here.
