Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wait a minute let me understand
While I'm a-sittin' here a-holdin' your hand
You're tellin' me about the boy next door
Tellin' me that he can offer you more
[Verse 2]
What a nerve
What a chase
Better put her in a place
[Verse 3]
Wait just a minute
You know that won't get it
If that's the way your love gonna be
You might as well forget it
[Verse 4]
Am I correct in hearin' what you say
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
[Verse 5]
Well, what you mean?
Is that so?
Better let that woman go
[Verse 6]
Wait a minute
You know that won't get it
If that's the way your love gonna be
You might as well forget it
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
You're a riot
And you're tough
Honey, cut out all that stuff
[Verse 9]
Wait, wait a minute
You know that won't get it
If that's the way your love gonna be
You might as well forget it
[Verse 10]
I'm gonna tell you for the very last time
If I'm yours, you better be mine
When I come home about a quarter to four
Don't wanna hear the slammin' of the back door
[Verse 11]
You're bad
You're so wild
Stop a-messin' with me, child
[Verse 12]
Wait a minute
You know that won't get it
If that's the way your love gonna be
You might as well forget it
You might as well forget it
[Verse 13]
Why, you can just go on and forget about
The whole cotton pickin' affair
I get so tired
