by Charles Leggett
Are you on the level baby
Or you got something up your sleeve
I said are you on the level baby
Or you got something up your sleeve
You gonna save our love and stay now baby
Or you gonna break my heart and leave
I know I say things baby
That you just don’t believe
Yes I know I say things baby
That you just don’t believe
you gonna bring down judgment
Or you gonna grant me this one reprieve
I know it’s all my fault baby
But I hope that you don’t leave
I know, I know it’s all my fault now baby
But I hope that you don’t leave
Cuz it’s all dark and cold outside baby AND
it’s raining and the wind is blowing AND
it’s all thunder and lightning AND
it’s all people fighting AND
it’s all mean and vicious AND
it’s all avaricious AND
it’s all nasty and malicious AND
it’s all ignominious AND
it’s all injudicious AND
it’s all invidious AND
it’s all insidious AND
if you go BABY
I don’t know
WHAT’S
gonna happen cuz it’s ALL
I said it’s ALL
I said it’s ALL
Hallows’ Eve
