Ninety-nine and a Half (won't Do)
Eddie Floyd / Steve Cropper / Wilson Pickett
(originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival)
I got to have all your love, night and day.
Not just a little part, but all of your heart, baby.
[CHORUS:]
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do.
Oh, no, no, just won't get it, baby.
Don't be led in the wrong direction.
To start this thing off right, a man need a little love and affection,
Yes he do, now.
[CHORUS x2]
We got to bring it all down, start gettin' it right.
We got to stop this messin' around, and keep the thing up tight,
Yes we do, now.
[CHORUS x2]
Got to have a hundred,
Got to have a hundred.
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do.
