How Could I Let You Get Away - Dennis Brown

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 you really knew.

Why couldn’t I beat you?

In the middle of the room,

Got no time t ocount my sheep today.

How could I let you get away?

When I knew I need somebody soon.

How could I let you get away?

When I knew I need somebody soon.

Like mother Goose,

Wind you up, then turned you loose.

Block ten was beating two.

And I can’t tell green from blue, no 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 room,

Got no time to count my sheep today.

How could I let you get away?

When I knew I need somebody soon.

How could I let you get away?

When I knew I need somebody soon.

How could I let you get away?

When I knew I need somebody soon.

How could I let you get away?

When I knew I need somebody soon.
