If You Gotta Go, Go Now (Or Else You Got To Stay All Night) Songtext / Lyric

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
