Listen closely to the film of The Beatles in New York in 1964 and at one point you’ll hear Harrison say, “Have you got a record called ‘Got My Mind Set On You’ by James Ray?” Fast forward to 1987 during sessions for Cloud Nine and drummer Jim Keltner was experimenting with beats until he was playing...
[Chorus]
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
Got my mind set on you
[Verse 1]
But it's gonna take money
A whole lotta spending money
It's going to take plenty of money
To do it right, child
It's gonna take time
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, child
[Chorus]
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
[Verse 2]
And this time I know it's for real
The feelin' that I feel
I know if I put my mind to it
I know that I really can do it
[Bridge]
I got my mind set on you
Set on you
I got my mind set on you
Set on you
[Verse 1]
But it's gonna take money
Whole lotta spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right, child
It's gonna take time
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
[Chorus]
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
[Verse 2]
And this time I know it's for real
The feelin's that I feel
I know if I put my mind to it
I know that I really can do it
[Verse 1]
But it's gonna to take-a money
A whole lotta spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right, child
It's gonna take-a time
A 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
[Outro]
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you

Set on you
I got my mind on you (Set on you)
I got it set on you (Set on you)
