The Coasters

The Coasters are an American rhythm and blues/rock and roll vocal group that had a string of hits in the late 1950s. Beginning with "Searchin'" and "Young Blood," their most memorable songs were written by the songwriting and producing team of Leiber and Stoller. Although the Coasters originated outside of mainstream doo wop, their records were so frequently imitated that they became an important part of the doo wop legacy through the 1960s. more »

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 
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 case! 
 
[Chorus]
Wait just a minute 
You know that won't get it
Wock-a-doo wock-a-doo 
If that's the way your love will be, 
You might as well forget it
Wock-a-doo, wock-a-doo, wha 

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! 

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 want to hear the slammin' of the back door 
You're bad! 
And so wild! 
Stop a-messin with me, child! 

You might as well forget it
 
Why, you can just forget about 
The whole cotton-pickin' affair!
I get so tired of you finaglin' around
