Every time we have
Verse 1
C
a date.
Don't we have fun now?
D
Dm
G
C
Well, you wind up in that old debate.
That's because you've got a
E
one -track mind.
Am
G
C
But before you slam that door,
Am
D
G
I'm gonna ask you, beg you,
G
plead with you just once
Remove your foot from that door,
Dm
I'm slamming!
C
Am
Can I come in for a second?
D
G
No. Just a second? No.
C
Just a second?
No, you can't get me.
D
Dm
Am
Can I come in for a second?
No, no.
D
G
If I promise, I'll go home.
C
E
G
You and your promises.
C
The whole night long, you just reckoned.
Am
I planned.
D
Dm
You just reckoned.
G
Tried.
C
You just reckoned.
I dreamed, I'd let you come
D
Am
in for a second
D
Dm
G
C
F
E
before I made you wrong
C
F
All I want is just a kiss
Am
F
C
If you'll put your heart in
E
That's the only way I kiss
Am
C
Am
And after all, dear, what can happen
Dm
F
In the sixtieth part of a minute?
C
Are you kidding?
Dm
C
Can I come in for a second?
Am
No
D
Dm
G
Just a second? No
C
A second?
Am
No, you can't hear me.
C
Dm
C
Can I come in for a second
Am
D
G
if I promise I'll go
C
Dm
F
G
home?
C
Am
You know, Nelly,
Dm
it's kind of cool out here.
G
Why don't you let me
C
in just for a few moments
Dm
to kind of warm up a bit?
G
C
You think it's cool out here?
Am
D
Wait till you get inside.
Dm
G
You know,
C
we haven't had heat for so long.
G
F
We are all wearing overcoats.
What?
C
Am
D
And besides, my father is a creeper,
Dm
G
C
a light sleeper, and a peeper.
F
Am
Dm
You mean a peeping Tom?
G
Well, first of all,
C
let's review this situation
because, you see,
Dm
G
C
I have a lot of investments to consider.
You know, we went to the Bijou Theater
Am
and we saw a triple feature
Dm
with Hopalong Cassidy.
G
And then we went to a bar,
C
I mean a snack bar,
Am
and from there I brought
Dm
you home in a taxi.
G
C
If that wasn't a bus, huh,
Am
D
Dm
G
it's the biggest taxi I've ever seen. And your investment,
C
F
you mean that 50 cents?
G
C
Am
Well, I'd spend a dol
C
lar if I spent a nickel.
F
How you sound?
Dm
D
Well, gosh, I don't know
Dm
G
what to do.
Dm
F
All I want is just a kiss,
Adim
F
G
E
Bdim
if you'll put your heart in it.
Am
And after all, dear,
what could happen
Dm
F
G
in the sixtieth part of a minute?
How naive!
C
Dm
C
You may come in for a second.
Am
Oh, wow!
Dm
For a second. I'm game!
G
C
Just for a second.
Touchdown!
Dm
Am
You may come in for a second,
Dm
G
C
if you promise you'll go.
Am
Dm
Well, good night,
G
C
Am
Dm
G
C
fellas. I'm in.
