Don't Come Too Soon

(Julia Lee – 1949)

Come and see me baby
But please don’t come too soon
We’ve got a date at eight
And it’s only afternoon

The way you rush me, it ain’t right
I know you just can’t wait for tonight
Remember, love is like a mashed potato
If you eat it now, then you won’t have it later

Come and see me baby But please don’t come to
o soon

Impatient daddy
I know how much you care
You ought to take your time
There’s lots of it to spare

You’re going to fast, you better take care
You might get a flat and you ain’t got no spare
Save all your lovin’, conserve all your power
If that doesn’t work, then take a cold shower

Come and see me baby
But please don’t come too soon
