Spinners, The - How Could I Let You Get Away Lyrics
Like Howdy Do
Your tin soldiers your clowns too
They’re all laughing at you,
I’m laughing at you too
Like basket ball, five fouls and that was all
In the middle of the room got no time to
Count may sheep today
How could I let get away
When I knew I’d need somebody soon
How could I let you get away
When I knew I’d need somebody soon
Like mother goose
Winds you up the turns your lose
And I can’t tell green from blue no no
Like cat and mouse games of chase instead of house
I’d get so mad at you
Like parents often do
In the middle of the room
Got not time to
Count my sheep today baby
How could let you get away
When I knew I’d need somebody soon
Oooh hooo (how could I lets you get away) baby
When I knew I need somebody soon
Oooh baby (how could I let you get away) how could let you get away baby
When I knew I need somebody soon yeah
Hey baby I didn’t count my sheep I let my woman weep baby
I knew down inside I needed someone soon
Like Mother Goose I done let you lose
And I need you baby yeah
Ooh wee I need somebody soon
Help me now to keep my feet on the ground

Spinners, The How Could I Let You Get Away Comments
Another great by Thom Bell, this man could write some music...we've all let that 1 get away...mmmmmfffff
Great Soul Music 🎶 😎
Love this cut so many memories.
This is true song and I love it
Silky why did you have to go. My babe Rest in Love
Wish we loved each other like it's supposed to be.
"When I knew I'd need somebody soon" what a helluva a lyric. "Got no time to count my sheep today"
everytime I hear this song I think of my father who use to play it all the time. I really miss him.
They just don't make songs like this anymore.
OMG! I was a teen when I first heard this song. How I ❤️ THE SPINNERS!
@ 2.22 Lord have Mercy
You let me on the shelf for 13 yrs. Someone came along, dusted me off and said WoW, look at this. After all this time I can't believe how you are acting. Its your own fault.
I lost everything, and I went through it. I don't know what to tell you. I deserve some happiness in MY LIFE! Now you weather the storm the way I weathered mine. I didn't do anything to you. One you went a different direction I never bothered you. Now leave me alone.
Good ole SOUL music ♥️
Stop..Im here Merry Christmas 2019! 1963 baby!!!!
Big tune
A classic!!
Takes me back to my childhood, my dad is a big Spinners fan..
Philipe wyn a bad singer
Hey Hopeful Romantic, God did make one more soul brother with that style of voice....ME! I love this song, and you are so right.
YOU'RE A FOOL💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Got tears in my eyes listening to this song. Remembering when I used to walk across town with Momma and get groceries. Then walk back across town with those groceries home. I miss my Momma and Daddy so much. Sometimes life hurts.....
I'm so sorry for your lose! I know how it feela as both my parents have passed too. I think of them everyday. I focus on the good and great thing that happened and smile. Sometimes, I LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!! There are still times when I shead a tear or two b/c I miss them. I don't know that the pain will ever go away, but I do know that it's easier to deal with as time passes. So I encourage you to remember the good days, remember the great days. Think on these things, smile and LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!
@DeBBie Montague Amen I agree you both in my prayer both of my parents decease and my only son was killed 2006 oh but god Peace and Blessings to us
I KNOW THE FEELING BROTHER I LOST BOTH I WAS JUNIOR HIGH WHEN THIS WAS OUT. DAMMMM
How could HE let me get away????? SMH!!!
Probably because he didn't deserve you...
What a voice..... 💕
We used to slow dance to this jam and step to "I'll Be Around" and "Mighty Love". We also rocked "Babysitter" by Betty Wright, Cisco Kid by War, and "Neither One of Us". These songs were huge in Chicago on the southside. The question everybody asked on Friday and Saturday nights---Where's the set at? Anybody else remember that?
I remember those days like it was yesterday. From Gary, Indiana now in Dallas,Tx.
2019 baby real fucking music
This song and "Love Don't Love Nobody"!!! ❤❤❤
Classic
love this song memories of being a kid lol.
Sounds catchy
♥️🔥 ♥️🔥 ♥️
I can vividly remember as a teenager observing this phenomenal group on Soul Train sing this song. I knew then that the Spinner's contained a special quality and uniqueness.
Sweet soul music from Detroit Michigan
Real nmusic.
Classic!
song brings tears to my eyes thinking of the one i let get away
Aww...Darrell. She's still thinking about you too I bet.
I know that feeling my brother I walk around trying to smile when people ask me how am I, + I have my 3 grandsons that are better than any alcohol or drug to I help with the loneliness and the depression but it's only a temporary fix if you will. My wife passed away 13 years the end of February + I try to keep myself busy but the truth is I'm such a lonely man. I'm empty when I'm not not around my children or grandchildren or my friends. But I keep plugging along + I know God gotta plan for me + I don't know what it is but I know Jesus knows what is best for me so I don't question him. my prayers go out to you and anyone else that are going through a rough time with this thought God is never late. He's always on time + just have faith and God will reveal his plan for us. We just have to believe, have faith and just keep God 1st. God bless you my brother
@Robert Goines Thank you Robert for the uplifting words. Your erxperience and testimony is someone else's motivation. Be strong bro and be blessed.
@darrell carther thank you my friend for the encouraging words. I appreciate the love + support. God bless you as well
Several years ago I was in a record store and the man behind me was buying the Very Best of Spinners disc you see above. I already owned it and I asked him if he knew this song. He said no and I told him to pay attention to it. it's better than all their big hits, and those are pretty wonderful.
I truly love this group,much love to ALL from Lumberton NC!!
Real Music!!!
Love the meaning behind this song ,yet the melody is so beautiful.A true blending of beat and memory here.A lot going on in this composition---love it.

So thankful for youtube... Nothing like good music with lyrics of meaning, I just love it.
Has That Stylistics-like lush sound in it
Same producer. Mr. Thom Bell
WHO TF THOSE 25 PEOPLE THAT THUMBS DOWN????
25 years old youngins. Damn shame
Brandi Freeman They bumped their heads—a lot.
They are fools who don't appreciate fine old school music.
For Real!
Must be young!!!!!!!!
Good memories
My my my memories early 70's and this album playing on mommies stereo/hi-fi 🎶🎶💖❤
A mesmerizing performance by Ms. Simone, who was a divinely inspired talent. We miss you so much.
YESSSSSS I was Mamas DJ.
2019🔥🔥🔥
@ 9.26.19 Old school for life!
And beyond!
The first 45 I ever bought. Chicago Southside. Thought I understood what was going on. Great memories.
One of my favorites. So smooth and mellow. In my opinion, they just don' t make men with voices like this anymore. If they do, there aren' t that many.
Lynn H in fact there are many great singing talents around, they want to rap because “ lyrics and meaningful music “ is not happening at this moment, but the world is round!
How right you are because music now is about being disrespectful to women and that's sad
Hopeful Romantic, there is one more voice that compares with these guys. Yours truly! I love it, and I'm in full agreement with you.
Miguel - Usher - the weeknd
How could WE???...
Waking up getting ready for school!!!
<(-_-)> NOURISHMENT for the soul! !!!!
Give the drummer some!
Whoever disliked I will kill your family in public by burning them on a steak and then when you fry for them I will rip the skin on your neck in half and pull out your throat with my hands and wear it as a fucking decorative scarf and sell your eyes as prothstetic balls
Hahahaha, a bit extreme but I understand.
Man you crazy!!! Lol
Motown was an amazing time for music..
This song was on Atlantic Records after The Spinners left Motown ..
