If You Gotta Go, Go Now

About If You Gotta Go, Go Now

"If You Gotta Go, Go Now" (sometimes subtitled "(Or Else You Got to Stay All Night)") is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1964. The first released version was as a single in the US by the UK group The Liverpool Five in July 1965, but this went uncharted in the US despite receiving much airplay, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Another English band, Manfred Mann, then issued the song as a single in September 1965; this version reached number 2 on the UK charts.

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

But if you got to go
It's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

It ain't that I'm questioning you
To take part in any kinda quiz
It's just that I haven't got no watch
An' you keep asking me what time it is

So if you got to go
It's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby
Trying to connect
But I certainly don't want you thinking
That I haven't got any respect

So if you got to go
It's alright
But if you got to 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
And it'll be too dark for you to find the door

So if you got to go
It's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

Manfred Mann

Manfred Mann was a British beat, rhythm and blues and pop band (with a strong jazz foundation) of the 1960s, named after their South African keyboardist, Manfred Mann, who later led the successful 1970s group Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Manfred Mann were chart regulars in the 1960s, and the first south-of-England-based group to top the US Billboard Hot 100 during the British invasion. more »
