some funky guitar

I can see her lyin' 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 creepin' 'round my back stairs.

Sundown you better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs.



She's been lookin' 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 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



I can picture every move that a man could make

Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake --

-- 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 ...

[Na na na nanana-nuh, bah - ba-da-buh-bahh...Na na na
nah-mah -- nah na nana nananana...]

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans

She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean -- [guitar]

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

Sundown y' better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs.

Some - times, I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
