We Got to Slip Around Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

We′ve gotta slip around and be together whenever we can, oh yeah
Said we gotta slip around and be together whenever we can, oh baby
You've got another woman, oh honey
I′ve got another man
That's why we gotta step around and be together whenever we can

Oh baby, I know it's wrong
For me to love you the way I do, oh, yeah (it′s wrong, but it′s alright)
You know it's wrong for you to love me, love me too (I can′t stop loving you)
Oh, yeah (no matter what I do)

Now I know, I know it's not right
But oh honey, you got me so uptight
That′s why we gotta slip around and be together whenever we can, oh, darling


Tell me, how long can we go on livin' this way
Oh, yeah (you said you love me, you said you need me)
Sooner or later, don′t you know, baby
We got to pay, oh, yeah (I know we got to pay, I love you anyway)
Now I'm willin' to pay the price
Oh honey, your love is so doggone nice
That′s why we gotta slip around
Be together whenever we can

Oh darlin′, don't worry darlin′
We're not the only ones livin′ this way
Oh no, millions of people fall in love every day, oh yeah
There's nothing we can do
Oh honey, I′m so much in love with you
So we're gonna slip around and be together every day, oh yeah
I've got to have you baby, yes, I am
Oh baby, I′ve got to have you
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
I′ve got to have you, oh baby, we gotta be together, uh-huh
