(William Smokey Robinson/Warren Moore/Marvin Tarplin)
Well, I`ll be doggone if I wouldn`t work all day
And I`ll be doggone if I wouldn`t bring you my pay
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town
Then I wouldn`t be doggone
Hey, Hey! I`d be long gone
Then I wouldn`t be doggone
I`d be long gone
Now hey, hey, hey!
I`ll be doggone if you ain`t a pretty thing
And I`ll be doggone if you ain`t warm as a breath of spring
And if we live to be a hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold
Then I wouldn`t be doggone
Hey! I`d be long gone
Oh I wouldn`t be doggone
I`d be long gone
Now did you hear what I say ?
Well now what I say
Oh, believe me Well, every woman should try
To be what ever has man wants her to be
And I don`t want much
All I want from you is for you to be true to me
Well, I`d be doggone if love ain`t a man`s best friend
Oh, baby, And I`ll be doggone if you ain`t the loving end
Though I know you make me feel like no baby could
If I ever found out that you`re no good
Then I wouldn`t be doggone
Hey, hey, hey, I`d be long gone
Well I wouldn`t de doggone baby
I`d be long gone
