Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, I'm the one he's gonna want
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, I'm the one he's gonna want
I went down to the river that day
Saw my man go and walk away
He left town with a woman I know
With raven hair and skin like snow
Left two kids in the house on the hill
But just one glance and I was cold like steel
I knew then I would lose my mind
If that young girl let him cross that line
So I'll run further than the memory
I'll run to somewhere they can't get me
You won't be the last one standing, I'm the one he's gonna want, oh
And you'll run further from the memory
You'll run to somewhere they can't get me
I will be the last one standing, I'm the one he's gonna want, oh
I knew then what I did was wrong
But daddy taught me that I'm not that strong
Guilt comes up so I push it down
But I love him, so I'll wear that crown
So please Lord, forgive my sins
I hope Heaven still lets me in
'Cause when I went down to the river that day
I didn't know things would go this way
So I'll run further than the memory
I'll run to somewhere they can't get me
You won't be the last one standing, I'm the one he's gonna want, oh
And you'll run further from the memory
You'll run to somewhere they can't get me
I will be the last one standing, I'm the one he's gonna want, oh
Na-na, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, I'm the one he's gonna want
Oh-oh-na-na, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, I'm the one he's gonna want
I can't help that I fell in love
The damage is done and I've had enough
'Cause people 'round here, they talk too much
But I was just a girl when I fell in love
So I'll run further than the memory
I'll run to somewhere they can't get me
You won't be the last one standing, I'm the one he's gonna want, oh
And you'll run further from the memory
You'll run to somewhere they can't get me
I will be the last one standing, I'm the one he's gonna want, oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, I'm the one he's gonna want
Oh-ooh-na-na, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, I'm the one he's gonna want
