I don't try to keep myself from you, But that seems to be all that I can do. One would think that I would know by now, After all these years I been around. Mmm I wish I knew How to do things right in my life. I thought I had learned a way to be, Writing all the lines for who you see. This new man would never let you go. There he hides and here I stand alone. Mmm I wish I knew How to do things right in my life. I don't have much Time left here. Wish that you would just stay near.
