Baby, ask your man if he would let you come along with meAnd 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 longSoon as I've returned the dawn, I'll bring you right backBut until then, could anything be finerThan rolling through the ocean in my trusty ocean liner?Go ask your man, I'm sure he'll understandWhile you're on the subject, would you ask politelyIf you could just bring an open mind to put some good times into?Would you ask permission to be free just long enoughFor you to love me for a day or two, at least begin toTell him you'll try not to get your clothes to sandyAnd let him know that I'm from a decent familyGo ask your man, I'm sure he'll understandLet him know it's not my style to keep you more than just a whileI'm hung up on the way you smile and loveYou're not my style to keep you more than just a whileTell him I respect his taste, and I don't want to take his placeA chance to fill the empty space is all I'm afterTell him your word, that you won't be gone foreverLet you and I watch the sun come up togetherGo ask your man, I'm sure he'll understandI'm hung up on the way you smile and love
