Come Go With Me
Teddy Pendergrass & Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you come on and go with me?
Would you come on over to my place?
Would you come on and go with me?
Would you come on over to my place? Yes

I don't feel like being lonely tonight
You see, I want, I want some company
And you look like you're just my type
See, you're the kind
You're the kind whose spirits are runnin' free

Let's take a sip of some cold, cold wine
And dance to the music nice and slow
And you won't be under any kind of pressure
You see, we'll just let, we'll just let the evenin' flow

So come on and go with me
Would you come on over to my place?
Would you do that, baby?
Come on and go with me?
Would you come on over to my place? Well?

And you look like you're just bored to death
And you wanna get away
You wanna get away from the noise and the crowd
Let's go somewhere where it's nice and quiet
Where there's nobody, where there's nobody else around

Let's sit down by a cozy lit fire
And we can be each other's company
Now how does that sound to you?
You see, 'cause it sounds so good
It sounds so damn good to me

So, come on
Would you come on over to my place?
Would you do that, baby?
Come on, come on and go with me, that's right
Come on over to my place
How does that idea sound to you?

See my car's right outside, we can leave right now
That's if you're ready to go
I know, I know you're just meetin' me
And you see, I'd understand it
I'd understand it if you said no
But don't you do that, baby

Don't you do that, baby (no, not tonight, no)
Don't you do that, baby
No, no, no, no, no (I'm leaving)
Just come on and go with me, that's right (oh, man)

See, I like what I see, I like what I see (I've been watchin' you too)
I gotta have you, baby (I've been checkin' you out all night long)
Alright (that sounds nice)
Anything you wanna do is alright, baby
Just come on, just come on (well, you said your car's right outside?)




Anything you want (right outside?)
Anything you need, it's alright

He wants to spend the night with her, sipping wine and dancing to the music slowly, in a no-pressure situation where they can just enjoy each other's company. In the second stanza, the man invites the person to go somewhere quiet where they can be alone by a cozy, lit fire and continue to get to know each other.
