You may think that I don't care
'cause I've been a rover here and ev'rywhere
In Princeton you've (?) about me
They never can say, girl
But one thing I like about you
You always do as you should , and that's why
If I don't, if I don't have you
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no
And even if the river should run dry
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no

I may stay away for a night or two
But all full of respect unto you, it's still new
Though staying away make you feel mad, it make you feel blue
But it's not that I really mean to embarrass you, 'cause darling
If I don't, if I don't have you
Then for me there'll be nobody else, no
And even if the tree should touch the sky
Then for me there'll be nobody else, believe me
