(lyrics are written by D. Pomus, M. Shuman)

I took you out to dinner
Then I took you to a show
I had a pocketful of money
And I spent all my dough
Now I see that look in your eyes
You're about to say "bye, bye"

I don't wanna hear you say (female chorus: "goodnight")
It's been nice (female chorus: "I gotta go")
But goodnight (female chorus: "sleep tight")
I gotta get up very early in the morning

Although it's upper stage
You know I really had a ball (female chorus: "me too")
You're just my kind of chick
You're not too short or too tall
How come you treat me that way?
(female chorus: "what kind of girl do you think I am?")
Do you know that I want to stay?

I don't wanna hear you say (female chorus: "goodnight")
It's been nice (female chorus: "I gotta go")
But goodnight (female chorus: "sleep tight")
I gotta get up very early in the morning

Don't try to shake my hand
Don't try to brush me off
If I bend over to steal a kiss (female chorus: "oh, mercy")
Don't make out like you don't try to go

I don't wanna call you next Thursday night
And I don't wanna join the line of forms on the right
I'm so ready and wow!
Kissing time's right now

I don't wanna hear you say (female chorus: "goodnight")
It's been nice (female chorus: "I gotta go")
But goodnight (female chorus: "sleep tight")
I gotta get up very early in the morning

Don't try to shake my hand
Don't try to brush me off
If I bend over to steal a kiss (female chorus: "oh, mercy")
Don't make out like you don't try to go

I don't wanna call you next Thursday night
And I don't wanna join the line of forms on the right
I'm so ready and wow!
Kissing time's right now


I don't wanna hear you say (female chorus: "goodnight")
It's been nice (female chorus: "I gotta go")
But goodnight (female chorus: "sleep tight")
I gotta get up very early in the morning
