Songwriter: John Farrar Irene Cara
I should tell you you're a fine thing
Beautiful and refine thing
Don't have to tell you
You know, oh-oh-oh-oh
I should tell you I'm a juvenile
When you get that evil smile
Don't have to tell you
You know
And I know well enough this is going nowhere
(bet you don't know what love is)
Are you trying to show
Show how much you care
(Bet you don't know what love is)
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
So, you're looking like a movie star
In those fancy threads
And brand new car
Don't have to say it
You know, oh-oh-oh-oh
Love and passion
But with no strings
I can live without your one night fling
Don't have to tell you
You know
Well, I don't wanna bore you
With what I mean
(Bet you don't know what love is)
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
Won't you bend a little?
You could bend a little, Irene
Aah, aah, goodnight
You could bend a little, Irene
Kisses sweeter than wild honey
Just a taste
And I'm all funny inside
Don't have to tell you, you know
And I know well enough this is going nowhere
(bet you don't know what love is)
Now are you just trying to show, show how
Much you care
(bet you don't know what love is)
Beautiful and refine thing
Don't have to tell you
You know, oh-oh-oh-oh
I should tell you I'm a juvenile
When you get that evil smile
Don't have to tell you
You know
And I know well enough this is going nowhere
(bet you don't know what love is)
Are you trying to show
Show how much you care
(Bet you don't know what love is)
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
So, you're looking like a movie star
In those fancy threads
And brand new car
Don't have to say it
You know, oh-oh-oh-oh
Love and passion
But with no strings
I can live without your one night fling
Don't have to tell you
You know
Well, I don't wanna bore you
With what I mean
(Bet you don't know what love is)
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
Might as well say goodnight
Say goodnight, Irene
Won't you bend a little?
You could bend a little, Irene
Aah, aah, goodnight
You could bend a little, Irene
Kisses sweeter than wild honey
Just a taste
And I'm all funny inside
Don't have to tell you, you know
And I know well enough this is going nowhere
(bet you don't know what love is)
Now are you just trying to show, show how
Much you care
(bet you don't know what love is)
