Lyrics
Baby, take off your coat
Real slow
And take off your shoes
I'll take off your shoes
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go over there
Turn on the lights
All the lights
Come over here
Stand on that chair
Yeah, that's right
Raise your arms up in the air
And now shake 'em
Now give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Sweet darling
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on, baby
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
(You can leave your hat on)
(You can leave your hat on)
Suspicious minds are talkin'
They're tryna tear us apart
They don't believe in this love of mine
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
Yeah, I know what love is
Put it my way
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on now
Free world
(You can leave your hat on)
Heaven is the reason to live
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
Darlin' just don't
Writer(s): Randy Newman
