Lyrics

Ba by, take off your coat

real slow.

Don’t take off your shoes;

I’ll take off your shoes.

Ba by, take off your dress,

yes,

yes, yes.

You can leave your hat on.

You can (Fsus4)leave your hat on.

You can leave your hat (C7)on.

Go o ver there;

turn on the lights,

hey, all the lights.

Come o ver here;

stand on that chair.

Yeah, that’s right.

Raise your arms up in the air;

now shake ’em.

Now give me rea son to live.

You give me rea son to live.

You give me rea son to live.

You give me rea son to live.

Sweet (Bb)dar ling,

(you can leave your hat (C7)on).

You can leave your hat on.

Ba (F)by, (you can leave your hat (C7)on).

You can leave your hat on.

You can leave your hat (C7)on.

You can leave your hat (C7)on.

Sus pi cious minds keep talk ing.

They’re try’n’ to tear us a part.

They don’t be lieve in this love of mine.

They don’t know what love is.

They don’t (C7)know what love is.

They don’t (C7)know what love (CN.C.)is.

They don’t (Fsus4)know what love is.

But (Fsus4)I know what love is.

(You can leave your hat (C7)on.)

(You can leave your hat (C7)on.)
