You Got Your Hooks in Me - The O'Jays - MP3 instrumental karaoke

With self-deprecating lovesick lines ("I just can't understand for the life of me / What I see in you / Yet every time you talk of leavin' me / I get so shook up, I don't know what to do") that set the tone for a gushy, passionate infatuation, The O'Jays weave a tale that’s as honest as it is vividly intense. "Oh, oh, oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me / And I, oh, oh, I'm caught like a fish, y'all / And, baby, I just can't break free / You know this thing is killin' me, killin' me," they sing in the chorus. Cast in a smooth soul mold by one of the Philly scene's biggest acts, "You Got Your Hooks in Me" was produced by the legendary Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff, who sprinkle their magic touch all over The O'Jays 1973 theme-rich album Ship Ahoy, which was a high-water mark for the group who went to number one on Billboard's Black Albums chart and number 11 on the Pop Albums chart with their offering.
