If I didn't have a dime

by Gene Pitney

If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time
To play the jukebox, 
Saturday night would have been a sad and lonely night for me
And if you weren't standing there, 
Ruby lips and golden hair, 
Beside the jukebox, 
I'd have lost my chance
To hold you while you danced
With me

While the records turned and turned
We danced and learned
Our hearts had yearned for this
'Neath the moon we walked and walked
And talked of love
And then we kissed.
Now with every sweet caress, 
Oh my darling, 
How I bless that little jukebox

That song that they sing
Wouldn't mean a single thing, 
Even though you're standing there, 
Ruby lips and golden hair, 
If I didn't have a dime and I didn't take the time
To play the jukebox
