Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa ...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa ...

Wait a minute let me understand
While I'm a-sittin' here holdin' your hand
You're tellin' me about the boy next door
Tellin' me that he can offer you more.

Whatta nerve!
Whatta chase!
Better put her in her place!

Wait ... just a minute
Baba-lu … baba-lu …
You know that won't get it
Baba-lu … baba-lu …
If that's the way your love will be
You might as well forget it
Baba-lu … baba-lu …

Am I correct in-a-what you said
That you would rather be with him instead?
You said that you could travel with him far
Say he's got a brand new Cadillac car.

Well, what you mean?
Is that so?
Better let that woman go!

Wait ... a minute
Baba-lu … baba-lu …
You know that won't get it
Baba-lu … baba- lu …
If that's the way your love will be
You might as well forget it
Baba-lu … baba-lu …

I don't go for all the crazy noise
About you datin' all those other boys
If I'm gonna be your only one
I'm not waitin' till your fun is done.

You're uh-rough!
And you're tough!
Honey, cut out all that stuff.

Wait ... wait a minute
Baba-lu … baba-lu …
You know that won't get it
Baba-lu … baba-lu …
If that's the way your love will be
You might as well forget it
Baba-lu … baba-lu …

I'm gonna tell you for the very last time
If I'm yours you'd better be mine
When I come home about a quarter to four
Don't wanna hear the slammin' of the back door.

You're bad!
And so wild!
Stop a-messin' with me child!

Wait ... a minute
Baba-lu … baba-lu …
You know that won't get it
Baba-lu … baba-lu …
If that's the way your love will be
You might as well forget it
Baba-lu … baba-lu …

You might as well forget it ...
Why, you can just go on home and forget about the whole cotton-pickin' affair ...
I get so tired of you finaglin' around ...
