Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress

In a room where you do what you don't confess

[Chorus]

Sundown, you better take care

If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs

Sundown, you better take care

If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs

[Verse 2]

She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream

And she don't always say what she really means

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

Sometimes, I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

[Verse 3]

I can picture every move that a man could make

Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake

[Chorus]

Sundown, you better take care

If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs

Sometimes, I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

[Verse 4]

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans

She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

Sundown, you better take care

If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs

[Chorus]

Sundown, you better take care

If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs

Sometimes, I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
