| Listen to me, baby,
|
| There’s something you must see.
|
| I want to be with you, gal,
|
| If you want to be with me.
|
| But if you got to go,
|
| It’s all right.
|
| But if you got to go, go now,
|
| Or else you gotta stay all night.
|
| It ain’t that I’m questionin' you.
|
| To take part in any quiz.
|
| It’s just that I ain’t got no watch
|
| An' you keep askin' me what time it is.
|
| But if you got to go,
|
| It’s all right.
|
| But if you got to go, go now,
|
| Or else you gotta stay all night.
|
| I am just a poor boy, baby,
|
| Lookin' to connect.
|
| But I certainly don’t want you thinkin'
|
| That I ain’t got any respect.
|
| But if you got to go,
|
| It’s all right.
|
| But if you got to go, go now,
|
| Or else you gotta stay all night.
|
| You know I’d have nightmares
|
| And a guilty conscience, too,
|
| If I kept you from anything
|
| That you really wanted to do.
|
| But if you got to go,
|
| It’s all right.
|
| But if you got to go, go now,
|
| Or else you gotta stay all night.
|
| It ain’t that I’m wantin'
|
| Anything you never gave before.
|
| It’s just that I’ll be sleepin' soon,
|
| It’ll be too dark for you to find the door.
|
| But if you got to go,
|
| It’s all right.
|
| But if you got to go, go now,
|
| Or else you gotta stay all night. |
