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
Somethin' you must see
I wanna be with you girl
If you wanna be with me.
But if you gotta go, oh it's alright
If you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night.
It ain't that I'm suggestin' you
Should take part in any kind of quiz
It's just that I ain't got no watch
And you keep askin' me what time it is.
But if you gotta go, oh it's alright
If you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night.
I am just a poor boy baby
Tryin' to connect
I certainly don't want you thinkin'
That I haven't got any respect.
But if you gotta go, oh it's alright
If you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night.
It ain't that I'm asking anything
That you never did before
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon
And it's too dark for you to find the door.
But if you gotta go, oh it's alright
If you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night.
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night.
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night...
