Hey baby, I know you've got to leave me for a few short days
But you know I'm going to be a good boy, now don't you?
Baby, I know that you'll be tempted in so many ways
Not a big old strong-minded man like me
I've heard about those city girls
I know you'll meet some pretty girls
And baby, I'm here all alone
You better stay that way too
Please wait till you get back home
Don't let it happen without me
Don't you worry about me
Don't let it happen without me
Don't you worry about me
You have no reason to doubt me
Don't let it happen without me
You know I can't live without you
Yeah, well just tell me all about it
Now wait a minute, child, listen to me
Cause when I'm up there in that big city
I'm not going to be thinking of anything but little old you
Listen now, baby
What?
I'll be thinking of you all the time I'm gone
You just better
Baby
What, honey?
Baby
I'll phone you every evening
You'll stay at home
Well, the only place I go is the grocery
This town is full of guys
Who can put big stars in your eyes
And I'll be in Chicago all alone
Just make sure you are
Please wait till I get back home
Don't let it happen without me
Don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
Don't let it happen without me
You have no reason to doubt me
Don't let it happen without me
You know I can't live without you
Don't let it happen without me
Don't let it happen without me
Don't let it happen without me
Don't let it happen without me
it happen without you.
