How Could I Let You Get Away (Live Version)

Like howdy do
Your ten soldiers your clowns too
They're all laughing at you
I'm laughing at you too
Like basket ball, 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 get away?
When I knew I'd need somebody soon, ooh-ooh
How could I let you get away?
When I knew I'd need somebody soon

Like mother goose
Winds you up then turns you lose
Block ten 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
Ooh-ooh-ooh (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?) how could let you get away, baby?
(When I knew I'd) when I knew I'd need somebody soon, yeah
Hey baby, I didn't count my sheep (how could I let you get away?) I let my woman weep, baby
(When I knew I'd) I knew down inside I needed someone soon

Like mother Goose (how could I let you get away?) I done let you lose
And I need you baby, yeah
(When I knew I'd) ooh-wee, I'd need somebody soon
Help me now to keep my feet on the ground
(How could I let you get away?) goodbye yeah, yeah, baby
