“What Are We Going to Do?”

What are we going to do if the word gets out?
What are we going to do if it gets about?
What are we going to do if your dad finds out we’re in love?

Well, what did your sister say when she saw us kiss?
What have I got to pay so she won’t talk about this?
And what are we going to do if your dad finds out we’re in love?

They’ve been saying wait until we’re ready (Ready)
But we know we’re ready now
So we’ll go steady anyhow

So what are we going to do when the word gets out?
How are they going to stop us when it gets about?
So what are we going to do? We going to tell them we’re in love
Yeah, that’s what we going to do, we going to tell them we’re in love

Yeah, that’s what we going to do, we going to tell them we’re in love
Yeah, that’s what we going to do, we going to tell them we’re in love
