If You Gotta Go, Go Now lyrics by Manfred Mann

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
