Sundown lyrics

I can see her lying back in her satin dress

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

Sundown you better take care

If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs

Sundown you better take care

If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs

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

And she don't always say what she really means

Sometimes I think it's a shame

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

Sometimes I think it's a shame

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

I can picture every move that a man could make

Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake

Sundown you better take care

If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs

Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans

She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean

Sometimes I think it's a shame

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

Sundown you better take care

If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs

Sundown you better take care

If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs

Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
