Rootie Tootie Songtext
von Thelonious Monk

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burnin′ me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night


What in this world
Keeps us from tearin' apart?
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark

No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feelin′ between me and you

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burnin' me up inside


I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night

Taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burnin' me up inside
I drove all night
