Listen to me, baby

I'm tryin' to make you see

that I want to

be with you, girl

if you want to be with me

But if you gotta go

it's all right

but if you gotta go

go now or else

you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby

tryin' to connect

but I don't want you thinkin'

Oh, that I ain't

got any respect

But if you gotta go

it's all right

but if you gotta go

go now or else

you gotta stay all night

Now I'm not tryin'

to question you

to take part in any quiz

It's just that I

don't have a watch

and you keep askin' me

what time it is

But if you gotta go

well, it's all right

but if you gotta go

go now or else

you gotta stay all night

Now I don't want

to make you give

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 gotta go

well, it's all right

but if you gotta go

go now or else

you gotta stay all night
