Don't Mind If I Do
George Strait Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Weather man says it's rainin' again
Perfect night for stayin' in
Lookin' at you I don't doubt that it's true
And did I hear you say
Baby put on a smile
Kick your shoes off
And stay a while
Well since you asked me to
I don't mind if I do

That ol' clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried 'bout the time at all
Long as I'm makin' time with you
And holdin' you tight
Dim light
Opry radio
I'll whisper baby I love you so
And since you want me to
I don't mind if I do

That ol' clock can just tick off the wall
I ain't worried 'bout the time at all
Long as I'm makin' time with you
And holdin' you tight
Dim light
Opry radio
I'll whisper baby I love you so
And since you want me to
I don't mind if I do





Just as long as it's you baby
I don't mind if I do
