Lyrics Gene Pitney

Gene Pitney

If I Didn't Have A Dime

If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time

To play the jukebox

Oh, oh Saturday night would've been a sad and lonely night

For me

And if you weren't standin' there ruby lips and golden hair

Beside the jukebox

O'h, oh I'd have lost my chance to hold you while you danced

With me,

Mm - mm

While the records turn (and turn) and turn (and turn)

We danced (we danced) and learned (and learned)

Our hearts (our hearts) had yearned (had yearned) for this

Neath the moon we walked (we walked) and walked (and walked) and talked (and talked)

Of love (of love) and then we kiss--ed

Now with every sweet caress oh, my darling how I bless

That little jukebox

Oh, oh love songs that they sing wouldn't mean a single thing

Even though you're standing there ruby lips and golden hair

If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time

To play the jukebox

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Now with every sweet caress oh, my darling how I bless

That little jukebox

Oh, oh love songs that they sing wouldn't mean a single thing

Even though you're standing there ruby lips and golden hair

If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time

To play the jukebox

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-[fade]
