How Could I Let You Get Away Songtext
von John Gary Williams

Like howdy do, your tin soldiers, your clowns too
They′re all laughing at you, I'm laughing at you too
Like basketball, five thousand that was all
The games that you really knew, yeah, why couldn′t I be you
In the middle of the road

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, yeah

Like Mother Goose winds you up then turns you loose
Block 10 was beating too, and I can′t tell green from blue, no
Like cat and mouse, games of chase instead of house
I get so mad at you like parents often do
In the middle of the road


Got no time to count my sheep today, baby
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, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah
I need somebody soon
Oh, Lord, won′t you help me now
Keep my feet on the ground
'Cause I need you, baby, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Lord, I knew I′d need somebody soon
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
