Do You Wanna Go With Me
Join Marvin Gaye's Swingin' Party
Lyrics
Straighten up my tie, puttin' on my coat
Straightening up appearance before heading out.
I know when there's a party that I gotta go
Awareness of a party he feels obliged to attend.
Now I ask, do you wanna go with me? (Oh yeah)
Invitation, asking someone if they want to accompany him.
Do you wanna go with me? (Oh yeah)
Reiteration of the invitation.
Come on (Come on) baby, come, come on, baby
Encouraging someone to join eagerly.
Everybody's going, don't you be no square
Advising against missing the event.
Everybody that's anybody gonna be there
Highlighting the importance of the attendees.
Now I ask, do you wanna go with me? (Oh yeah)
Repeated invitation to accompany him.
Do you wanna go with me? (Oh yeah)
Reiteration of the invitation.
Come on (Come on, come on, come on)
Continued encouragement and insistence to come along.
Baby, come on (Come on, come on, come on)
-Oh baby, come on (Come on, come on, come on)
-Come on, baby (Come on, come on) , woo
-Gonna swing (Gonna swing)
Anticipation of enjoyment, dancing, and having a great time.
Gonna shout (Gonna shout)
-We gonna dance (Dance) knock ourselves out
-(Knock ourselves, knock ourselves out)
-And we're gonna fix ourselves one
-Heck of a loot (Heck of a loot)
-And I'd feel awfully bad if
Expressing regret if unable to attend.
I can't get to you, oh
-Going to a party way across town
Describing the excitement and anticipation of the party.
You bet it's really swingin'
-Gonna tear the joint down
-Oh, now I ask, do you wanna go with me?
Repeating the invitation, urging participation.
(Oh yeah) do you wanna go with me? (Oh yeah)
