Katherine - Ben E. King

Katherine

I heard his mother

Talking about you

Saying how cute you are

Oh, but for her son, girl, you’ll never do

And here’s one more thing I’ve got to let you know

If he decided to ever let you go

Girl, just call me when things get rough

They say you’ll never be good enough

I hope you’ll never be good enough for him

But you’re good enough for me

Katherine

They say wedding plans

Have already been made

I can hear his mother say

«Oh I’d love to put off until a later day»

And if he don’t seem interested at all

Dial my number I’ll be waiting on your call

Girl, you’ll never be good enough

They say you’ll never be good enough

I pray you’ll never be good enough for him

But you’re good enough for me

Oh, Katherine

They may never understand I love you

Place nobody else right here above you

Ooh

Katherine

I heard his mother talking about you
