[Intro]
Listen to me, baby
There’s something you must see
I want to be with you, gal
If you want to be with me

[Chorus]
But if you got to go
It’s all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night

[Verse 1]
It am not that I’m questioning you
To take part in any quiz
It’s just that I have got no watch
And you keep asking me what time it is

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I am just a poor boy, baby
Looking to connect
But I certainly don’t want you thinking
That I have not got any respect

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You know I’d have nightmares
And a guilty conscience, too
If I kept you from anything
That you really wanted to do

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
It ain't that I’m wanting
Anything you never gave before
It’s just that I’ll be sleeping soon
It’ll be too dark for you to find the door

[Chorus]

Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman May 24, 1941), is an American singer-songwriter, writer, and artist who has influenced popular music and culture for more than five decades. Dylan has especially played a critical role in the American folk music revival.

Dylan’s songs are built from myriad political, social, philosophical and literary influences. Many of his anti-war and civil-rights-influenced songs set social unrest, as journalists widely named him the “spokesman for his generation” in the 1960s.

The musician has a signature change in voice and style in many different albums of his throughout the decades. He has notably explored and experimented with the genres of folk, rap, blues, and rock.
