Going On Strike
Western Union and telegrams
Keep informing me about Vietnam
My baby's over there and my friends are wondering
Ooh, wondering why I don't go nowhere
Well, if you're one of them, I still love him
And I'm goin' on strike 'til my baby comes back
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
All night parties and invitations
Even from his best friends
They've been waiting, I can tell they've been thinking
This would be times I'd let 'em in
His love is good now as even then
So I'm goin' on strike 'til my baby comes back
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
His love is strong to cross the sea
Every night I sleep, he kisses me
I walk the street, not seeing nobody
Do I hear love? I surely got it
I'm going
I'm going (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Sittin' up crying, reading the newspaper
Keeps informing me about Vietnam
My baby's over there, and my friends are wondering
Ooh, wondering why I don't go nowhere
Well, if you're one of them, I still love him
And I'm goin' on strike 'til my baby comes back
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Going on strike 'til my baby comes back
Gonna strike (going on strike)
'Til my baby comes back ('til he gets back)
I don't need no part-time lover (going on strike)
Gonna be out here ('til he gets back)
Goin' on strike (goin' on strike)
'Til my baby comes back ('til he gets back)
I don't need nobody (goin' on strike)
'Til my baby comes back ('til he gets back)
I'm going (going on strike)
I'm going on strike, do you hear me? ('Til he gets back)
I'm going...
