BIG JOHN
The Shirelles
(Big John, Big John)
Big John, won't you come on home?
Ain't you gonna marry me?
My folks all wanna know
When the weddin's gonna be
They're makin' plans, shakin' hands
Been waitin' so long
There's somethin' goin' wrong
Big John, if you don't come home
I'm gonna have to leave this place
My folks know you've jilted me
I'm ashamed to show my face
They're makin' plans, shakin' hands
Been waitin' so long
There's somethin' goin' wrong
BRIDGE:
They all told me 'bout the things you do
If what they told me is true
They all said that I'd soon find out
I'm wastin' my kisses on you
(instrumental)
There's somethin' goin' wrong
(repeat bridge, then verse 2)
(Big John)
Been waitin' so long
(Big John)
There's somethin' goin' wrong
(Big John)
