Manfred Mann - If You Gotta Go, Go Now lyrics

Listen to me, baby
I'm trying 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 trying to connect
But I don't want you thinking
Oh, that I ain't got any respect

But if you gotta go it's alright
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

Now I'm not trying to question you
To take part in any quiz
It's just that I don't have a watch
And you keep asking me what time it is

But if you gotta go well, it's alright
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 sleeping soon
It'll be too dark for you to find the door

But if you gotta go well, it's alright
Well, if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night
