If you gotta go, go now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen to me baby there's something that you must see
I want to be with you babe if you want to be with me.
But if you gotta go its all right.
But if you gotta go, go now or else you got to stay all night.
Its not that I am asking you to take part in any kind of quest
It's just that I ain't got no watch and you keep asking me what time it is.
But if you gotta go its all right.
But if you gotta go, go now or else you got to stay all night
I am just a poor girl trying to connect
I certainly don't want you thinking that I ain't got any respect.
But if you gotta go its all right.
But if you gotta go, go now or else you got to stay all night
It ain't that I am wanting anything that you never gave before.
It's just that I'll be sleeping and it will be too dark for you to find the door.
But if you gotta go its all right.
But if you gotta go, go now or else you got to stay all night
