[Chorus]
I got my mind set on you

But it’s gonna take-a money
A whole lotta’ spending money

Whole lotta’ precious time
It’s gonna take patience and time, mmm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it
To do it, to do it right, chile[Chorus]
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
