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
