It's a dance song, kind of slinky and downtempo, with female vocals.

Here's the chorus:

"You got what I want, you got what I need ... come on, turn around, baby, set me free."

Any idea?

Sting: "If You Love Someone, Set Them Free"

Sounds like a really original sentiment.

It's a really good song, though.

The rhythm is a bit unexpected sometimes -- these off-beats that propel it in a nice way.

I mention Sting because he is an economic girly-man.

It sounded really familiar, and I thought I knew it for a second, but really I was just thinking of Christina's "What a Girl Wants" and those lyrics don't quite fit. Ah well.

Nope.

Here's the full lyrics (from someone else looking for it online):

"The day is here
The time is right
For us to be together
We've been apart
Two seperate hearts
Now we're together forever

You got what I want, you got what I need
Come on turn around baby set me free
You got what i want, you got what I need
Come on baby set me free"

Finally after countless hours of searching, I found out what the song is. Most of us know it from Jordan Capri's little show. I went to her website and it is actually run by the company doing her advertising. In the frequently asked questions there is something about whether the songs are available for purchase or not. The guy said that they are bundled in his video editing software and you couldn't. Well, I happen to have some video editing software and checked to see if it was on there. It was but I could only download a sample of it. To download the full version in home as opposed to professional quality is $6.95 and it is in something other than mp3 format. You have to have the video editing software to download it. It is called "Got what I want". Here is a link that shows the audio libriary from Smart Sound for $91.99 http://www.sharbor.com/products/SDEN0700095.html The reason that it is so expensive is that it is licensed for video editing software and encoded so that it can fit into any timeframe and you get a bunch of different versions for each song. The video editing software that I have and found it in is Cyberlink Power Director 4 under the Pop/Dance category. You would have to download it for that software and then reformat it to .mp3. Well, at least we know where and what it is. I still don't know who sang the lyrics. Kick ass song though.

just adding these lyrics for search purposes:
The day is here
the time is right
for us to be together
you got what I want
You got what I need
Come on baby
set me free

i somehow read this thread title wrong at first and thought it was:

C/D: "Come On, Turn Around, Baby, Set Me Free"

as in "are cliched lyric-phrases classique or dudley?"

lol this song

I'm finding it hard to believe that Jordan Capri sang it herself, but I guess she is a woman of many talents.
