Penyanyi soul asal Brookline, Eli "Paperboy" Reed sebelumnya telah memiliki 2 album independen hingga akhirnya album ketiganya "Come and Get It" akan dirilis bersama major label Capitol Records. Single pertama dari album itu adalah up tempo soul session yang berjudul sama dengan albumnya, 'Come and Get It'. Lagu ini benar adanya sebagai alat persuasif bagi kita untuk mendengarkan jenis musik yang jarang ditemukan di saat gempuran electro.
Lagu ini penuh dengan alat musik. Kemeriahaan itu datang dari sana. Terompet, gitar, drum, tamborin, gendang, piano. Enggak berhenti menghias durasi 3 menit 31 detik kita dengan temponya yang cepat. Kalau bicara soal lirik, dari judulnya aja udah ketahuan kalau ini lagu ajang promosi diri. Tapi sebenarnya berlaku juga sih untuk sikon Eli sekarang. Berangkat dari artis indie ke major label, berikut dengan sorotan yang melandanya belakangan. Seolah mengiyakan, kalau kamu ingin dengar musik baru, datang dan dapatkan!

Lyrics:
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it (baby)
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a real good man
Come and shout me
I make you understand
Don't you just look
Come and take it
Cause what i've got
You know you can't fake it
[chorus]
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it
Listen
Remember girl, i've been around the block
My legs are shied, but I won't stop
It's your turn to make a choice
Don't just sit there girl
Stand up to raise your voice
[chorus]
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You want to get with it
All my love came tumbling down
Quite playing games
Beat around the bush
All that love really needs is
Just a little pitty push
[chorus]
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You want to get with it
