You know who you are Somewhere in America, one night Out on the road I saw her face Trying hard to blend in with the others She looked so out of place Wo oh, her eyes, they caught me by surprise They haunt my memory Wo oh, she turned me around Read my

And that's got me worried thinking That's why I'm sittin on the front steps This time I don't know After she packed when she looked back There were no tears in her eyes Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye What a rotten day this turned out to be I

I just looked myself Straight in the eyes and saw That I had to move To higher places So I took my courage In both hands and I pushed off the ground With all my might Took off from the red place

And I said someday I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late What's done is done And I told her someday She said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday just never comes She looked me in the eye and said it's over I can't take this heartache

Love is madness I never said that I would be your lover I never said that I would be your friend I never said that I would take no other Be your lover I knew the moment I knew the moment I looked into your eyes

So I wrote you a song, cause it's been so long. Since I looked in your eyes. If there was a way I could see you today And hold your sweet sweet smile. I'd be there. Not a minute goes by, that you ain't on my mind. Not a place in my heart, that you don't

And I said someday I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late What's done is done And I told her someday She said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday just never comes She looked me in the eye and said it's over I can't take this heartache

I don't lie Without an alibi I ain't lyin' I told my dyin' daddy That I had to run away Looked him in the eyes Said, "there ain't no other way" So woman, if I tell you that I love you, be ok 'Cause I ain't lyin'

Well I been dyin' Got to get that monkey off my back The fortune teller looked into my eyeballs The wrinkles on her face about to crack She said you best believe it, you ain't goin' nowhere Unless you get that monkey off your back Well, I made believe

Who is he, and what is he to you A man we passed just tried to stare me down And when I looked at you You looked at the ground I don't know who he is But I think that you do Something in my heart and in your eye Tells me he's not someone just passing by
