Never, never let dem know, now
Wait until tomorrow

Please, don't tell your mama
That you're staying out tonight
'Cause she will tell your papa
And he loves to fuss and fight

And I don't wanna lose this here chance, no
'Cause I need you for my partner at this dance
And it's Jah, who showed us the light
So we're all going raving tonight, yeah

Then tomorrow you can't tell mama
How you spend a splendid night
Tell her you were with your lover
He's a Dread, but he's alright, yeah

Never, never let dem know, now

'Cause I don't wanna lose this her chance, no
Said I need you for my partner at this dance

Tell her you were with your lover
And he's a Dread, but he's alright, yeah

Wait until tomorrow
