How Could I Let You Get Away Songtext

von The Spinners

Like howdy doo
Your tin soldiers, your clowns too
They're all laughing at you
I'm laughing at you too
Like basketball
5 fouls and that was all
The games you really knew, yeah
Why couldn't i beat you
In the middle of the room
Got no time to count my sheep today
How could i let you get away
When i knew i'd need somebody soon (hoo... hoo...)
How could i let you get away
When i knew i'd need somebody soon
Like mother goose
Winds you up then turns you loose
Block 10 was beatin' 2
And i can't tell green from blue, no, no
Like cat and mouse
Games of chase instead of house
I get so mad at you
Like parents often do
In the middle of the room
Got no time to count my sheep today (baby)
How could i let you get away
When i knew i'd need somebody soon (hoo... hoo...)
How could i let you get away (baby)
When i knew i'd need somebody soon
Ooh... baby
How could i let you get away, baby
When i knew i'd need somebody soon, yeah
Hey, baby
I didn't count my sheep, i let my woman weep, baby
I knew down inside i'd need somebody soon
Like mother goose i done let you loose
And need you, baby, yeah
Ooh-wee, i need somebody soon
Help me now, keep my feet on the ground
My baby
