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
