I'd Rather Go to Jail Songtext
von Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels

Your daddy told me I can′t hang around your door
He said, get lost, or he's gonna call the law
Hey, I don′t care what your daddy say
I'm gonna get to you, girl, anyway
I'd rather go to jail
I′d rather go to jail
I′d rather go to jail without bail

Than to give you, give you, give you up
Give you, give you, give it up
Give to give, to give it up, to give

Ooh, if kissing and loving gives up crying, yeah
Then baby, I'm guilty
I′ll do my time
If that's the price that I gotta pay
I′m gonna get to you, girl, anyway
'Cause I′d rather go to jail
Rather go to jail
I'd rather go to jail without bail


Than to give you, give you, give you up
To give it, give it, give it up
Give to give, to give it up, to give, to give
To give it up, now hey

Yeah, baby
Yeah, yeah, I love you, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Yeah, yeah, I love you, baby
Oh, yeah

You're so young, like a tulip that′s never been turned
And I don′t know what you got, but I ain't got enough
I don′t care what your daddy say
I'm gonna get to you anyway
Oh, I′d rather go to jail now
I'd rather go to jail, hey
I′d rather go to jail without love

To give you, give you, give up
To give, to give, to give you up
To give, to give, to give you up
To give, to give, to give you up


Hey baby, I wanna ask you something
Did, did, did you love me?
Hey, I wanna know
'Cause if you did, I'd rather go to jail
Than to see you get away
And what′s more
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I love you so bad
