When I came home this morning, from a night out on the prowl,
I saw you sitting in the front of my big white car, looking like you’re gonna leave town.
You had the dog in the back, bags all packed, you were right and ready to roll.
Hold on baby, I’ve got something to say, she said I’ve gotta gotta get away.

(No you don’t) have to go and leave me
(No you don’t) have to wave bye bye
(No you don’t) have to take that dog I bought you
And leave me here to cry

(No you don’t) have to take my money
(No you don’t) and my big finned Chrysler car
(No you don’t) have to leave me thinking
That I ought to crawl up and die

Well I guess this time its trouble, ‘cause she hasn’t come home again.
I was up all night, waiting for her, sitting in the front pouch swing.
But the sun’s gone down, the moon’s come up, it’s another night all alone
So I guess I better go back downtown, yellin’ baby, baby, please come home.

(No you don’t) have to go and leave me
(No you don’t) have to wave bye bye
(No you don’t) have to take that dog I bought you
And leave me here to cry

(No you don’t) have to take my money
(No you don’t) and my big finned Chrysler car
(No you don’t) have to leave me thinking
That I ought to crawl up and die

(No you don’t) have to go and leave me
(No you don’t) have to wave bye bye
(No you don’t) have to take that dog I bought you
And leave me here to cry

(No you don’t) have to take my money
(No you don’t) and my big finned Chrysler car
(No you don’t) have to leave me thinking
That I ought to crawl up and die
