Baby, ask your man if he would let you come along with me
And watch the morning hit the sea, or would he like that?
If you think he'll take it wrong, just tell him I won't keep you long
Soon as I've returned the dawn, I'll bring you right back
But until then, could anything be finer
Than rolling through the ocean in my trusty ocean liner?
Go ask your man, I'm sure he'll understand
While you're on the subject, would you ask politely
If you could just bring an open mind to put some good times into?
Would you ask permission to be free just long enough
For you to love me for a day or two, at least begin to
Tell him you'll try not to get your clothes to sandy
And let him know that I'm from a decent family
Go ask your man, I'm sure he'll understand
Let him know it's not my style to keep you more than just a while
I'm hung up on the way you smile and love
You're not my style to keep you more than just a while
Tell him I respect his taste, and I don't want to take his place
A chance to fill the empty space is all I'm after
Tell him your word, that you won't be gone forever
Let you and I watch the sun come up together
Go ask your man, I'm sure he'll understand
I'm hung up on the way you smile and love
