How Could I Let You Get Away - Spinners

作曲：Yvette Davis

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

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' too 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

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
