Lyrics Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly

My Two-Timin' Woman

I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mood

You talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude

She left me talkin' to myself just a lookin' at that mean old wall

Well she had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall

Well she changes with the weather like the leaves I recall

She blossoms in the spring and then she's gone in the fall

My two timin' woman with a heart of solid stone

She tells me that she loves me but her heart's a little undergrown

She said she'd never leave me but she got that urge to roam

Now she gets around the country like a steam-boat on the foam

Never changin' course, she just travels along that same old way

I hope she goes a-driftin', rolls along back home someday

Now, if I ever find her, gonna chain her to the floor

Then tell her: "Now sit there woman, 'cause you ain't leavin' no more

I'm gonna tame you woman till you're eatin' from my hand

It ain't that I don't love you, honey it's just to make you understand."
