They say you must learn to walk before you can run,
You must feel some hurt before you take the pleasures of love.
But be careful boys be sure you know the price you've got to pay,
You see I'm paying for it nearly every day. chorus
She took the little pride I had left in me,
And changed me into something that I don't want to be.
Yes, she pulls the strings and I jump to her beckon call,
Wish I'd learned to run before she made me crawl. instrumental She just won't let me forget where I was found,
A lost and lonely loser on the wrong side of town.
And the night she took me in like a puppy from the cold,
But like the devil I'm afraid she bought my soul.
