All alone
Standing here by myself
And my girl is walking right down the street with someone else
There's not a place that I can run in a town this size
So I just better look away
I said I better look away
I said I better look away before she sees the tears in my eyes
He's so close
The girl I knew so well
With the eyes and the lips and the skin
That I know so well
I know they both want to look at me,
If I smile, that's a poor disguise
I just better look away
I said I better look away
I said I better look away before she sees the tears in my eyes
There they go, and I wonder if either one of them is wise
That when I look away
I said I when I look away
I said when I look away
Did she see the tears in my eyes?
Keep on runnin'
Keep on hidin'
One fine day I'm gonna be the one
To make you understand
Oh yeah
I'm gonna be your man

Hey hey hey
Everyone is talkin' about me
Makes me feel so bad
Hey hey hey
Everyone is laughing at me
Makes me feel so sad
Keep on runnin'
Hey hey
All right!

Keep on runnin'
Runnin' from my arms
One fine day I'm gonna be the one
To make you understand
Oh yeah
I'm gonna be your man

Hey hey hey
Everyone is talkin' about me
Makes me feel so bad
Hey hey hey
Everyone is laughing at me
Makes me feel so sad
Keep on runnin'
Hey hey
All right!

It's a fire in my heart
And I just let it burn
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Strong love is what you've got
And I can hardly eat
Strong love is what you've got
And there is no retreat
I try to swallow, baby
It just won't go down
Got my head a spinnin', darlin'
It's goin' round and round
Goin' round.
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I know your love is real
Show me how you feel
Oh yeah, Oh yeah

Strong love is what you've got
And I can't get no sleep
Strong love is what you've got
And I can't find no key
I can hardly sleep at night
It makes me toss and turn
It's a fire in my heart

I was born in Macon, Georgia, met my dad in a Macon jail
He said, "Son, if you keep your hands clean
You won't have them bloodhounds on your trail"
I fell in with bad companions, robbed a man in Tennessee
Sheriff caught me way up in Nashville
And they locked me up and they threw away the key
Refrain:
I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands but they didn't come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
I asked the jailer when my time's up, he said, "Son, we won't forget
If you try to keep your hands clean
We may make a good man of you yet."
I couldn't wait to do my sentence, I broke out of the Nashville jail
I just crossed the line of Georgia
And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
Refrain (2 times)
Since I met you baby, my whole life has changed
Since I met you baby, my whole life has changed
And everybody tells me that I'm not the same
I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
For since I met you baby, all I need is you
Since I met you baby, I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby, I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you must believe me
No matter what the people might say, you must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way, oh no

You've come home [with something on your mind]

You say you'll be serious [and not have fun]
While trying to tell me [something I have done]
The things you have heard [couldn't be denied]
But before your opinion [listen to my side]
You must believe me
No matter what the people might say, you must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way, oh no
It just didn't happen that way
Oh it's all right, oh it's all right, oh it's all right, oh it's all right
Girl you're wrong to [believe what they say]
Before you said nothing, [it'll never be that way]
They're talking now [all over town]
But darling you know [I'll never put you down]
Her and me were [to the party again]
There's nothing else to say [about whom I love best]
You must believe me
No matter what the people might say, you must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way, oh no
It just didn't happen that way
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Let me love you baby, now while we have the time
Hum, let me take our love baby, well now while we have the time
Well if you don't do it baby, you know that old clock's gonna chime, hum hum yeah
Well my momma told me 'bout girls like you

But honey, believe me I know, hum good love's so hard to find
Hey hey hey hey darling, you know the lights are getting low, oh oh

Talking about you (watch your step)
Every night and day (watch your step) oh oh
