If You Gotta Go, Go Now

Lyrics: Bob Dylan
Music: Bob Dylan

Played by Phil Lesh and Friends in 2013 at a hoe-down with the Terrapin Family Band.

Listen to me, baby
There�s something you must see
I want to be with you, girl
If you want to be with me

But if you gotta go
It�s all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

It ain�t that I�m questioning you
To take part in any quiz
It�s just that I ain�t got no watch
And you keep askin� me what time it is

But if you gotta go
It�s all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby
Looking to connect
But I certainly don�t want you thinking
That I ain�t got any respect

But if you gotta go
It�s all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

You know I�d have nightmares
And a guilty conscience, too
If I kept you from anything
That you really wanted to do

But if you gotta go
It�s all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

It ain�t that I�m wanting
Anything you never gave before
It�s just that I�ll be sleeping soon
It�ll be too dark for you to find the door

But if you gotta go
It�s all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night
