How Could I Let You Get Away - 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
