Snap Your Fingers
Brenda Lee · Top Teen Hits [Decca] [1965]
(Alex Zanetis - Grady Martin)
Snap your fingers I'll come running
Back to you on bended knee
Snap your fingers I'll come running
I'll be true, take a chance on me.
Let your light turn green baby I've got to know
Give me some kind of clue should I stay or go
Let me love you like a lover oh that you used to know
Turn the key and let me in through that same old door.
I had it but I lost it now, I've got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is I got to find a way back in
Snap your fingers baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get you back again.

I had it and I lost it now, I've got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is I got to find a way back in
Snap your fingers baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get you back again...
Snap your fingers I'll come running
Back to you on bended knee
Snap your fingers I'll come running
I'll be true, take a chance on me.
Let your light turn green baby I've got to know
Give me some kind of clue should I stay or go
Let me love you like a lover oh that you used to know
Turn the key and let me in through that same old door.
I had it but I lost it now, I've got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is I got to find a way back in
Snap your fingers baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get you back again.

I had it and I lost it now, I've got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is I got to find a way back in
Snap your fingers baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get you back again...
