If You Gotta Go, Go Now - Cowboy Junkies

Listen to me, baby

There’s something that you must see

I want to be with you, boy

If you want to be with me

But if you gotta go, it’s all right

But if you gotta go, go now

or else you gotta stay all night

It’s not that I’m questioning you

to take part in some kind of quiz

It’s just that I have got no watch

and you keep askin' me what time it is

But if you gotta go, it’s all right

But if you gotta go, go now

or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor girl, baby

trying to connect

I certainly don’t want you thinkin'

that I haven’t got any respect

If you gotta go, it’s all right

But if you gotta go, go now

or else you gotta stay all night

It ain’t that I am wanting

anything you never gave before

It’s just that I’ll be sleeping soon

it’ll be too dark for you to find the door

If you gotta go, it’s all right

But if you gotta go, go now

or else you gotta stay all night
