IF YOU GOTTA GO, GO NOW

Manfred Mann



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



CHORUS:

But if you gotta go

Well, 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 thinkin'

Oh that I ain't got any respect



(chorus)



Now I'm not trying to question you

To take part in any quiz

It's just that I don't have a watch

& you keep askin' me what time it is



(chorus)



Now I don't want to make you give 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



(chorus
