Rundgren, Todd - We Gotta Get You A Woman Lyrics






Leroy, boy, is that you?
I thought your post-hangin' days were through
Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs
Tell no lies
You get wise
I tell you now, we're gonna pull you through
There's only one thing left that we can do

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Leroy, boy, you're my friend
You say how and I'll say when
Come and meet me down the street
Take a seat
It's my treat
You may not ever get this chance again
That empty feeling's just about to end

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you
It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through
I got one thing to say, you know it's true
You got to find some time to get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
They may be stupid, but they sure are fun
I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause
We got to get together with a woman who has been around
One who knows better than to let you down
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together, 'cause
Get this thing together, 'cause
Get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
And when we're through with you
We'll get me one too

  2. L.... ....

    Rupp minibikes, icees for 10 cents, I weighed 80 pounds, Shirley Jones and The Partridge Family, Hughes 300 police helicopters, 35 cents gas, boy scouts weekend campouts, Band of Gold by Freda Payne, I'd give up all my tomorrows for one week of my yesterdays.

  3. R.... K....

    The best years of my life no wars and just love lol

  9. m.... s....

    My best friend was Roy. I told him this was his song. He’d just laugh. He passed away 3 yrs ago. RIP LeRoy!

    m.... s....

    Sorry man.

  10. D.... E....

    Hahaha cracking great song that deserves more fame.

  11. G.... S....

    Leroy boy is that you?

  12. c.... ....

    What a grind. His first hit too.

  13. k.... ....

    Crazy ..awsome song..two yrars before i was born

  14. R.... B....

    Simply The Best of the Best, Music fires my Soul, TR is one of the Greats !!!

  15. P.... H....

    this song came out in 1969 not 1970.

    P.... H....

    Says seventy. Want to fight about it?

    P.... H....

    dont be an ass hole

  16. M.... W....

    I am only twenty-years-old, I was born in 1999, yet whenever I listen to this song, I feel such a unique sense of nostalgia. :) I love it!

  17. T.... ....

    He is so f-ing good

  18. B.... B....

    I've absolutely LOVED this song forever, and it's one of my very faves by Todd Rundgren! ❤️

  19. H.... J....

    The last line.."and when we're thru with you...we'll get me one too!" I used to sing, "We'll get me TWO too...."

  20. t.... ....

    ..always loved the last line.."and when we're thru with you...we'll get me one too!"

  21. U.... T....

    Exactly what those nutty incel members need LOL

  22. w.... ....

    1. Can’t we still be friends. 2. A Dream Goes on Forever. 3. Love Is The Answer. 4. I saw the light.

  23. E.... R....

    my best friend and I dreaming of women freshman year in college!

  24. B.... D....

    I always liked how the singer seemed so knowledgeable and experienced on the topic and in the end needs a girlfriend himself.

  25. G.... R....

    why such long periods re: Rundgren? One of the best of the best...

  26. #.... T....

    I love this song

  27. C.... G....

    Surprised Todd got away with..."they may be stupid but they sure are fun"!

    C.... G....

    It was a different world back then. A bit more innocent. He has since changed the line to "It may be stupid, but they sure are fun" I believe.

  28. R.... D....

    ... and when we're through with you - we'll get me one too. Classic line.

  29. K.... R....

    Memories.... love this... takes me back.

  31. F.... I....

    Something sounds wrong with this. Out-of-sync somehow.

  32. V.... L....

    it just disgusts me that Todd is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    V.... L....

    He doesn't care.

  33. s.... ....

    I had a cousin named Leroy whom we teased mercilessly with this song when it first was released. He was a good sport about it though. Sadly, he passed away last month from complications from diabetes. RIP Cousin Leroy 1961-2019

  34. T.... C....

    Leroy Stanton, again This One's For You!

  35. M.... H....

    I heard that this song was written for his friend David Geffen, who would go on to be a powerful record company executive. It turns out the reason Geffen was having so much trouble getting a woman was because he is gay

  36. B.... T....

    Ooh ahhh

  37. K.... P....

    Oh my God! I have not heard this song since 1st grade. I cannot believe it. 48 yrs and I still remember it.

  42. M.... L....

    poor man's steely dan

  43. S.... H....

    Hunt and Tony Sales were Soupy Sales' kids.

  44. M.... S....

    Todd got the name “Runt” from the crude moniker his classmates gave him because he was shorter than most kids back then.

  45. p.... t....

    Beautiful A+ Masterpiece, top of the line solid gold standard of excellence, great music & memories of life

    The Nazz.

    A beautiful soul.

  51. p.... ....

    When I was a kid, I heard this on the radio alongside Todd's other early Seventies hit singles. . Later, an older neighbor kid had Todd's Something/Anything, A Wizard A True Star and Todd LPs, and once I heard those I was hooked for life! 45 years later, I have tickets to see Utopia next week! I salute Todd for decades of great music!

  52. D.... R....

    Gros regrets de ne pas avoir connu cette époque là

  53. R.... L....

    such a great song

  54. D.... A....

    LOVE IT!!!!

  55. k.... s....

    Again 1970. The music that came out that year was beyond amazing.

    k.... s....

    Go Kristi!!!....but don't leave out '58-'59 and '66-'67!

    k.... s....

    @todd windyhill mid to late 60s amazing. Fortunately, for me, im too young for 50s, lol.

    k.... s....

    I remember 1969 being just the shits for music, shure glad the 70's changed all that!

  56. J.... D....

    I first heard this in 1970 - it sure meant a lot. Then 1971 and Judith - did not mean as much. Then 1972 and Elizabeth - did not mean a thing. Then 1973 - it sure meant a lot again. A great song and sure brings back memories of a more simple, and new, time.

  57. J.... P....

    Oh god! I love this..so long ago+ i find it hard to sleep sometimes. Even though i so love this song! It's called " grief" i lost a child in December 23rd 17 and it doesn't matter that she was 31 and died from an overdose sge was still my girl,my child!+

    J.... P....

    Jennifer Puhl sorry

    J.... P....

    Sorry for your loss.

    J.... P....

    May the music comfort you, Jennifer.

    J.... P....

    So very sorry for your loss. May you find the comfort you so richly deserve.

    J.... P....

    Sorry honey...pray for her while you are alive and trusting in God's love for you and her know that you will eventually see her again in glory and total ecstasy and joy

  58. D.... W....

    ~ The original Runt single on the legendary Ampex label still fun & fresh from 1970 in 2018. Honour our living legends like Todd Rundgren! See also Nazz, 1968-69, "Hello It's Me." Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

  62. L.... C....

    It is too late, I'm too old.

    L.... C....

    L.... C....

    In that case, you'll be needing a song from Carole King, instead.

    "Hyde gets the girl"

  71. a.... o....

    was her name Laura?

  72. D.... ....

    Tony & Hunt Sales, who play on this song. Are the sons of the Great comedian Soupy Sales.

  73. J.... D....

    I remember to listening to this when it was released. But that was mono on an am radio station. The quality of recording we can listen to today is like listening to it for the first time (again). Thanks for sharing.

  74. R.... P....

    My Mom turned me on to Todd. She had the double LP SOMETHING/ANYTHING and I was an INSTANT fan. Todd played every instrument on that record, produced, engineered.... did EVERYTHING!! All in a hotel room!!

    R.... P....

    Ricky Pisano
    Todd did it all

    R.... P....

    Todd is a genius. Full stop.

    R.... P....

    A true tallent, I got into Mike Oldsfield, played all instruments and had a hand in production also I believe, now its just sound bytes. I still have my LP's so rock on.

  75. r.... b....

    Lol, Some of us really needed a lot of help getting a Woman but the chase was so much FUN FUN FUN !!!

  76. R.... S....

    Touched my soul 50 yrs. ago.  Brings tears to my eyes

    R.... S....

    It is that kind of song. A ONE of a kind, kind of song.

    R.... S....

    Brilliant!  What a voice, what a poetic soul. Always love

  78. C.... Z....

    Love this song.

    C.... Z....

    I just heard Todd raised Liv Taylor because her Dad was doing drugs

    C.... Z....

    james ogrady And then she became an elf.

  79. B.... D....

    "they may be stupid but they sure are fun???" wow, with that attitude i'm not surprised he doesn't have one!

    B.... D....

    At first, I thought negative lyrics about women being stupid. But I think, lyrics go "talking about things, with that special one". Maybe referring to "things" ... doing things with that special one that are stupid. Like to think so.

    B.... D....

    TODD is genuinely a good person and a great father to a child that wasn’t even his but he took responsibility

    B.... D....

    I hate that line. ‘Puts me off the entire song.

    B.... D....

    I heard the song again & I see that he is referring to specific qualities of a certain woman-understood.

    B.... D....

    Ravens999 Get over yourself!

  80. M.... A....

    these days it is we got to get you somebody a woman or a man you choose

    M.... A....

    M.... A....

    Or both in the same package...which might be what Catalina meant.

  81. B.... T....

    You right ,all way keep look for a good women the right one. Thanks Shaw

  82. M.... M....

    An all-time favorite of mine!

    M.... M....

    Last time I heard this I was in Vietnam. What memories.

    G.... ....

    GunnyFits1 - Oh, yeah, Sarge, my dad was in Viet Nam when this was out. I was a teenager. I listened to it and loved it, but when he came back from over there, no more fun music! Oh, and btw, thanks for your service!

  85. L.... C....

    Adorable song. Reminds me of my youth, riding my horse and listening to my portable radio. We had to wait all day to hear our favorite song. Fun times.

    L.... C....

    My horses like this, too!

    L.... C....

    @horseygurl143 Well, if your equine family likes this, they will love chestnut mare by the byrds.

    L.... C....

    instant gratification is a double-edged sword...having to wait made the song that much more enjoyable.

    L.... C....

    Anyone into Todd Rundgren and horses is/are okay in my book. AMJ

  86. C.... F....

    Damn you, rdbrewer!

  87. A.... C....

    I didn't know that Soupy Sales' sons were participants on this record..Nice!

    Todd is a hall of famer. Hey, NWA got in and they're rap

  89. D.... E....

    So melodic, love it!!!

  90. j.... ....

    i have this on a 45 but not with this label.

  91. S.... B....

    One of Todd's best songs-Hope he eventually gets into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

    S.... B....

    @Kathy Hays Did you ever live on Eglin A.F. B.?

    S.... B....

    He finally did last year !

    S.... B....

    Todd doesnt need that dumb crap!

  92. a.... o....

    I hear Laura Nyro

    a.... o....

    i am glad he drowned out Laura Nyro.

  93. r.... ....

    HUNT AND TONY

  94. C.... E....

    a very talented fellow. i love how his voice has matured into a lovely baritone

  95. C.... B....

    Great memories!
    When we were down on our luck with the girls as teenagers my buddies and I would sing this song to each other!

    C.... B....

    that's a good memory

    C.... B....

    that's cute Craig!

    C.... B....

    I Love that STORY C B

    C.... B....

    Man I can relate. I was in 8th grade when this came out. I would hear this song and be thinking I need a girlfriend lol. Cool memories though.

  96. M.... J....

    I heard this song only once about 30 something years ago and never found out who did it. Wondered and gave up hope I'd ever find out. Then on a long road trip it pops up on Sirius. I look at the dashboard and see "Todd Rundgren". Again? This guy's name keeps popping up. I thought this guy was a one-hit wonder (Hello, it's me) but I'm just now finding out barely remembered fragments from songs that I liked long, long ago were by him.

    M.... J....

    Mike Jordan n I saw the light..

    M.... J....

    It's a story. Not him.

    M.... J....

    Mike Jordan Sun Todd Rundgren has so many songs out there dude that are great it's plus he was a great writer and performer ton rubbing rubber do anything he's a genius more than a one-hit wonder so check your history out

    M.... J....

    Listen to Allison Krauss singing Todd’s “It wouldn’t have made any difference” and you can really hear his beautiful song writing.

    M.... J....

    1. Can’t we still be friends. 2. A Dream Goes on Forever. 3. Love Is The Answer. 4. I saw the light.

  97. T.... ....

    Thanks for posting this!

    I always thought that "Runt" was merely the title of the album, and that it was Todd's solo debut after Nazz.

    T.... ....

    +Themanwhocameback2 you are right. just heard an interview with Todd who made this rather clear and that many people were confused by thinking that it was the band name.
