Lyrics :

Well, I took you out to dinner
And took you to a show
Had a pocket full of money
Spent all my dough
Now I see that look in your eye
You're about to say bye-bye
I don't wanna hear you say
It's been nice, a-goodnight
I gotta get up early-early in the morning
Though it's out first date you know I realy had a ball
Just my kinda chick, not too short not too tall
How can you treat me this way
When you know I wanna stay
I don't wanna hear you say
It's been nice, a goodnight
I gotta get up early early in the morning
Don't try to shake my hand
Don't try to fluff me off
If I bend over to steal a kiss
Well don't make like you gotta cough

I don't wanna call you next Thursday night
And I don't wanna join a line-up formed on the night
Well I'm so ready and wild
Let's kiss and cound right now
I don't wanna hear you say
It's been nice, a goodnight
I gotta get up early early in the morning
