I'll Be Doggone Songtext
von Diana Ross & The Supremes and The Temptations

(Wm. Robinson/W. Moore/M. Tarplin)

Well, I′ll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day
And I′ll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town

Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, Hey! I′d be long gone
Then I wouldn′t be doggone
I'd be long gone

Now hey, hey, hey!
I′ll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing
And I′ll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring
And if we live to be a hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold


Then I wouldn′t be doggone
Hey! I'd be long gone
Oh I wouldn't be doggone
I′d be long gone

Now did you hear what I say?
Well now what I say
Oh, believe me Well, every woman should try
To be what ever has man wants her to be
And I don′t want much
All I want from you is for you to be true to me

Well, I'd be doggone if love ain′t a man's best friend
Oh, baby, And I′ll be doggone if you ain't the loving end
Though I know you make me feel like no baby could
If I ever found out that you′re no good

Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone
Well I wouldn′t de doggone baby
I′d be long gone
