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.
