Don't Make Me Late

Bring me my shoes, give me my hat

I've got to look my very best

In my brand-new slacks

Bring my umbrella in case it starts to rain

I'm going to my baby's house

And straighten out the whole thing

(Please hurry driver) please hurry driver

(Don't make me late) don't make me late

I've got to get to my baby's house, so we can communicate

(Oh, hurry driver) oh, hurry driver

(Don't make me late) don't make me late

I just can't wait to see my baby's pretty face

You see, she heard a story that wasn't true

And if she leaves me, I don't know what I'm gonna do

There's always somebody willing to break-up a good love affair

That's why I don't have any time

I don't have no time to spare

So (please hurry driver), hurry driver

(Don't make me late) don't make me late

I've got to get to my baby's house so we can communicate

(Please hurry driver) please hurry driver

Don't make me late

I just can't wait to see my baby's pretty face

You see, oh, oh-ooh-oh-oh (please hurry driver)

Oh-oh, ooh-oh (please hurry, driver)

You see, I know my so-called friend

Is gonna be there

He may plan to run his fingers through her pretty hair

I know the phone been off the hook

I know she's got everything he likes

Even her pretty looks, so

(Please hurry driver) hurry driver

(Don't make me late) don't make me late

I've got to see my baby so we can communicate

She heard a story that wasn't true

And if she leaves me, I don't know what I'm gonna do

So (please hurry driver), hurry driver

(Don't make me late) don't make me late

I just can't wait to see my baby's pretty face

So hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry (please hurry driver)

(Don't make me late) don't make me late

I've got to see my, I've got to see my baby's face, ooh

(Please hurry driver)

Don't make me late

I've got to see my baby so we can talk and communicate

(Please hurry driver) talk, sorry about what you heard
