You never took the time to know me, yeah 'Cause you never took the time to know me You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah) Because of you now I'm just a lonely man A moment ago it seemed It was yesterday You were here with me And everything

It's not time to make a change, You're still young, that's your fault, Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Just relax, take it

It's so lonely in the six right now I know you see It's getting late and I'm tired, yeah yeah Stuck on the east side, baby Tryna stay outta trouble, but it follows me And you know it I just want peace, babe And I just want you, babe

You could come over I know you're shy You can be shy with me I just wanna teach you You know I need you And I'm not quite sober I know you're shy, baby You can be shy You can be shy, with me

You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh Baby, this is what you came for Lightning strikes every time she moves And everybody's watching her But she's looking at you, oh, oh You, oh, oh We go fast till they can't replay Who knows why it's gotta be this way

I know just what I need To find my way back to Tennessee To Southern, is so sweet And find my way back to Tennessee I'm on the road now I'm coming home now Fancy cars and diamond rings I seen all kinds of shiny things I should be feelin' like a king

I'm dangerous for you I know how this will end I can't take what you do to me I can't take it My promise is I will hurt you No matter what I say or what I do So I'm turning away now So I'm turning away now before we begin And no matter what you say or

I don't know what came over me I'm too dumb for words Here we are, now where are we? It's like nothing I've ever seen we got hoarse-throated huckster's whispered gimmicks Rubbernecking the curious cynics and headlong-walkers, One born every minute do I

And God knows, I'm not dying but I breathe now And God knows, it's the only way to heal now With all the blood I lost with you It drowns the love I thought I knew Alarms will ring for eternity The waves will break every chain on me That feeling, that

You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one You and me we made a vow For better or for worse I can't believe you let me down But the proof is in the way it hurts For months on end
