Oh Shirley I love you you must believe I do
|
Cause Shirley I need to have and hold the both of you
|
|
Well Shirley I'm writing this in a hotel downtown I'm sure you remember the place
|
See I came back in the town to see our new baby today
|
And you slammed the door at my face
|
Now Shirley I know you've got every right to despise every breath that I take
|
But I'm praying there's still enough love in your heart
|
To forgive me that one big mistake
|
Cause Shirley Shirley I love you...
|
|
You know I have to admit that when I first heard the news
|
That my first thought was I had to run
|
You see Shirley I was too far along on my way to success
|
To be chained to a wife and a son
|
So I kept my name and you have to blame and you port with head held high
|
But I guess now all the while you were wearing a smile
|
You wanted to break down and cry
|
Shirley I love you...
|
|
I just jumped on that train and it took me away
|
And I well I thought I left the trouble behind
|
But I found out in a while with each passing mile what I really had left was my mind
|
So I'm back here to stay with you to have me or not
|
It's all up to you Shirley in your heart
|
All the heartaches you've had everything that's gone bad
|
I'll have to live with if we stay apart
|
Cause Shirley I love you...
|
