Lyrics

TALKING1
Well, folks, this song starts off ...this boy and this girl, they're out on their first date. She's cute. He's smitten. Love at first sight. Along about ten o'clock she says "You better take me home, now. My daddy's gonna come looking' for me." Well, you know how boys are. Do you know what he said?...

CHORUS1
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO have to take you home tonight
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO have to take you home tonight
I...
i...
I just wanna be with you

TALKING2
Well, he was smarter than he looked. He took her home. He was afraid of her daddy. But he asked her out on another date, and another date, and another date, and a whole bunch more dates, and finally... they got married. And, folks, let me tell you, that o' boy he was the ideal husband to that girl. Did everything he could to please her. He worked hard all week long, and when he got his paycheck, he brought it home and gave it to her. Then he cooked dinner, washed the dishes, washed all the clothes, made the beds, swept the floors, and at night, when they were sitting there watchin' TV, he let her... have the remote control. Yeah, that's true love right there. And, she took all that for granted. Kinda got her nerve, you know, all that doting and stuff. One night she said "Honey, why don't you go out and play poker with the guys tonight, or sump-tin, just get out from under my feet for awhile? Might do us both some good. You know what he said?...

CHORUS2
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO go play poker with the guys
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO go play poker with the guys
I...
I...
I just wanna be with you

HARMONICA

BRIDGE
But maybe in about another ten thousand years
I'll find contempt bred from familiarity
But by then we'll have a million, gillion, trillion little kids
'Cause biologically and psychologically we's meant to be...

CHORUS3
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO have to ever say goodbye
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO
I DON'T WANT TO have to ever say goodbye
I...
I...
I just wanna be with you

HARMONICA

TAG
I DON'T WANT TO!
