Close The Door
Composer(s): Joe Tex

Baby now I've got to go and leave you
But I'll be back
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Now I trust you to be a good baby
You know how to act
Hey hey hey
Close your door

But it's your so-called friends
Especially the men
That I don't trust at all
So keep your friends outdoors
Keep both doors closed
Because nobody knows who comes and goes
When the doors ain't closed
Hey hey hey
Close your door

I don't mind you and your girlfriends
Playing some cards
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Just as long as you play cards
Out in the yard
Hey hey hey
Close your door

Now you can even fix lunch
And bore the whole bunch
And make them feel at home
But keep your friends outdoors
Keep both doors closed
Because nobody knows who comes and goes
When the doors ain't closed
Hey hey hey
Close your door

Yeah, the next house ideal
Won't have but one latch
Hey hey hey
Close your door
So the way that you go in
That's the way you come out
Hey hey hey
Close your door

Now, it's such a shame
We have no window pane
And one door is bad enough
So, keep that one door closed
And keep our friends outdoors
`Cause nobody knows who comes and goes
When the doors ain't closed
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Alright

Hey hey hey
Close your door
Hey hey hey
Close your door
Hey hey hey
Close your door ...
