No way anyone would guess this song is Foghat, From their eponymous first album, produced by Dave Edmunds and written by Don Robey and Andre Williams. First released by Bobby Bland in 1969. They had just left the best period of Savoy Brown, at least in my opinion.
1971
I've made up my mind, and here's my decision,
I'd like to share with you, all of my secrets and my religion.
I want you to see, oh how sweet I could be.
Oh, I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you.
You've got what it takes, whoa there's no denyin',
I see in you a dream come true, Lord, you're life to the dying.
I want you to see, oh how sweet I could be.
Oh, I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you.
In my life there's an empty slot,
Oh now I believe you can fill that spot.
But I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you,
Blessed are the days I spent with you,
Realizin' precious moments we never knew.
Right now I'm just imagining this thing,
But would you believe the joy it brings.
I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you.
I'm gonna get you and hold you tight,
I want to hold you baby in the middle of the night,
Because I need, I need you baby,
I need, I need you by my side,
I need, I need, I need you to keep me satisfied,
Gonna hold you, I'm gonna to squeeze,
I'm going to love you,
I've made, I've made up my mind,
I said I've made, I've made up my mind,
You got it, you got what it takes,
You got, you got what it takes,
I see, I see in you a dream,
I see, a dream come true.

Nice to see “live” and “joy” in a song. Surprised to read that this band is still recording but hasn’t lost that wonderful ‘70’s sound. Or is this a remastered date for the song?
another band I haven't thought about in a long long time, where else would I hear this? thanks again RP
A nice surprise after a couple uninspiring new she doesn’t love me songs.
