"Something You Got"

This afternoon, I was thinking about "Something You Got" and realized a small thing about the first two lines: "Something you got, baby / Makes me work all day."  The "all" is sung with a melisma (D C), which gives an impression of the duration of "all day."  When I referenced the song to verify this and to find those specific notes, I discovered that the next two lines have a similar feature: "pay" in "Something you got, babe / Makes me bring you all my pay" is sung with a melisma (D E E D C, I think), which gives an impression of the quantity of "all my pay."
