[Verse 1: Southern Pacific]
I'm not much on mystery
You gotta be careful what you dream
I thought I was satisfied
I thought love would pass in time

[Chorus: Emmylou Harris & Southern Pacific]
Honey let me tell you I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you I got a thing about you
Don't matter what you say
Don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you
I got a thing about you

[Verse 2: Emmylou Harris]
Somewhere deep in the middle of the night
Lovers hold each other tight
Whisper in their anxious ears
Words of love that disappear

[Chorus: Emmylou Harris & Southern Pacific]
Honey let me tell you I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you I got a thing about you
Don't matter what you say
Don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you
I got a thing about you

[Bridge: Emmylou Harris, Southern Pacific, Both]
Baby you hold some strange control over me
It's so wild it’s hypnotizing me
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Emmylou Harris & Southern Pacific]
Honey let me tell you I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you I got a thing about you
Don't matter what you say
Don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you
I got a thing about you
Thing about you got a thing about you
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Outro: Southern Pacific, Emmylou Harris & Both]
Said oh babe I got a thing about you
Oh babe I got a thing about you
Said oh babe I got a thing about you
Oh babe I got a thing about you
Said oh babe I got a thing about you
Oh babe I got a thing about you
Oh babe I got a thing about you
Oh babe I got a thing about you

Emmylou Harris was born in Birmingham, Alabama on April 2, 1947 to Walter and Eugenia Harris. She attended Garfield Senior High School where she graduated as Valedictorian. She then went to UNCG School of Music, Theatre & Dance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro but dropped out to pursue her musical talents.

Emmylou married Tom Slocum in 1969, but this was a very short marriage as they divorced the following year. It was long enough, however, to produce a daughter, Mika Hallie Slocum, on March 15, 1970. In 1977 she married Brian Ahern and they were married roughly seven years. The couple had one daughter together, Meghann Theresa “M.T” Ahern, born September 9, 1979. In 1985, she married Paul Kennerley who she was married to until 1993.

The 5'5" singer-songwriter is known for songs such as “Beneath Still Waters”, “Together Again”, “Two More Bottles of Wine”.
