Wait a minute let me understand

While I'm a-sittin' here holdin' your hand

Your tellin' me about the boy next door

Tellin' me that he can offer you more

What a nerve

What a chase

Better put her in a place

Wait a minute

You know that won't get it

If that's the way your love will be

You might as well forget it

Am I correct in hearin' what you say

That you would rather be with him instead

You said that you could travel with him far

You say he's got a brand new Cadillac car

Well, what you mean?

Is that so?

Better let that woman go

Wait a minute

You know that won't get it

If that's the way your love will be

You might as well forget it

I don't go for all the crazy noise

About you datin' all those other boys

If I'm gonna be your only one

I'm not waitin' till your honey's done

You're a riot

And you're tough

Honey, cut out all that stuff

Wait 'a minute

You know that won't get it

If that's the way your love will be

You might as well forget it

I'm gonna tell you for the very last time

If I'm yours, you better be mine

When I come home about a quarter to four

Don't wanna hear the slammin' of the back door

You're bad

And so wild

Stop a messin' with me, child

Wait a minute

You know that won't get it

If that's the way your love will be

You might as well forget it

You might as well forget it

Why, you can just go on on and forget about

The whole cotton pickin' affair

I get so tired
