I grew up in a north Texas town
And I was the guy your daddy wouldn't let you hang around
'Cause I was on the move, and I was movin' fast
Tell you that I love you but I know it'll never last
Then I met a girl with a heart so true
She took me by the hand, turned my gray skies back to blue
She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through
I was into gamblin', and I was into cars
I was into goin' where the girls dance on the bars
I was into trouble, I was up to nothin' good
And I was always doin' little things I never should
And I was always leavin', but she can make me stay
All I had to do was to hear her say
She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I'll tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through
Now I've changed my ways
And I'm walkin' straight
I'm in a hurry so don't make me late
'Cause I've gotta see her
I wanna know
I'm gonna hold and I'll never let go
She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through
Lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through
Love me right
Just love me right
Won't you love me right
And we're gonna get through
And I was the guy your daddy wouldn't let you hang around
