How Could I Let You Get Away

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 oh 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
