Wait a minute let me understand   While I'm a-sittin' here holdin' your hand   Your tellin' me about the boy next door   Tellin' me that he can offer you more      What a nerve   What a chase   Better put her in a place      Wait a minute   You know that won't get it   If that's the way your love will be   You might as well forget it      Am I correct in hearin' what you say   That you would rather be with him instead   You said that you could travel with him far   You say he's got a brand new Cadillac car      Well, what you mean?   Is that so?   Better let that woman go      Wait a minute   You know that won't get it   If that's the way your love will be   You might as well forget it      I don't go for all the crazy noise   About you datin' all those other boys   If I'm gonna be your only one   I'm not waitin' till your honey's done      You're a riot   And you're tough   Honey, cut out all that stuff      Wait 'a minute   You know that won't get it   If that's the way your love will be   You might as well forget it      I'm gonna tell you for the very last time   If I'm yours, you better be mine   When I come home about a quarter to four   Don't wanna hear the slammin' of the back door      You're bad   And so wild   Stop a messin' with me, child      Wait a minute   You know that won't get it   If that's the way your love will be   You might as well forget it      You might as well forget it      Why, you can just go on on and forget about   The whole cotton pickin' affair   I get so tired
