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, five 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

How could I let you get away

When I knew I’d need somebody soon

Like mother goose

Winds you up then turns your loose

Block 10 was beatin' two

And I can’t tell green from blue, no no

Like cat and mouse, games of chase instead of house

I’d get so mad at you

Like parents often do

In the middle of the room

Got not time to

Count my sheep today baby

How could let you get away

When I knew I’d need somebody soon

How could I let you get away baby

When I knew I need somebody soon

Oooh baby, how could let you get away baby

When I knew I need somebody soon yeah

Hey baby I didn’t count my sheep I let my woman weep baby

I knew down inside I needed someone

Like Mother Goose I done let you lose

And I need you baby yeah

Ooh wee, I need somebody soon

Help me now to keep my feet on the ground
