I had me a woman one time, |
|
Back a long time ago, |
|
She seemed to treat me so fine, |
|
I didn't want to let her go, |
|
She'd find a new way to, |
|
Find peace of mind, |
|
She left me flat and standin' here, |
|
With nothing but a dime, |
|
She said she found herself, |
|
Another way of life, |
|
I gave her my everything, |
|
And treated her right |
|
Didn't know what it was about her, |
|
But I want her back, |
|
Oh Lord would you help me please, |
|
I gotta get me back |
|
My daddy told me one time, |
|
Son don't ya be no fool, |
|
Most women will treat you kind, |
|
Then they'll treat you cruel, |
|
But you got to look forward, |
|
To a new day that's coming, |
|
Got to quit chasin' that girl son, |
|
Slow up your runnin', |
|
Things will get better son, |
|
A new day tommorrow, |
|
Forget about that girl and, |
|
Throw away your sorrow |
|
I couldn't forget about her, |
|
Not about that stuff, |
|
She'd been with me too long, |
|
But let her have it rough |
|
I had me woman one time, |
|
Back a long time ago, |
|
She seemed to treat me so fine, |
|
I didn't want to let her go, |
|
She'd find a new way to, |
|
Find peace of mind, |
|
She left me flat and standin' here, |
|
With nothing but a dime, |
|
She said she found herself, |
|
Another way of life, |
|
I gave her my everything, |
|
And treated her right |
|
Didn't know what it was about her, |
|
But I want her back, |
|
Oh Lord would you help me please, |
|
I gotta get me back |
