Well, I took you out to dinner, then I took you to a show
I had a pocket full of money, and I spent all my dough
Now I see that look in your eye, you're about to say bye-bye
I don't wanna hear you say, "It's been nice, a-goodnight, I gotta get up early-early in the morning."

Although it's our first date, you know I really had a ball,
You're just my kinda chick,you're not too short or too tall.
How can you treat me this way when you know I wanna stay
I don't wanna hear you say, "It's been nice, a-goodnight. I gotta get up early-early in the morning."

Don't try to shake my hand. Don't try to brush me off.
If I bend over to steal a kiss, don't make out like you gotta cough.
Well, I don't wanna call you next thursday night, and I don't wanna join the lines of phones on the right.
Oh, I'm so ready and wild and a-kissing time's right now.
I don't wanna hear you say, "It's been nice, a-goodnight. I gotta get up early-early in the morning."
