By the glinting of the sun I saw a pistol in his hand
Looked into the eyes of the man I love
Convinced that I had cheated, he had come to take my life
I found myself pleading to the skies aboveHis fingers they were trembling
His eyes were full of tears
I could smell the whiskey on his breath
How could I take a bullet for something I ain't done
How could this be the hour of my death"Oh, I never would step out on you
Now what you heard, it just ain't true
Baby, don't do something you'll regret."
He said, "Your words are sweet,
But I ain't persuaded yet."
"I know the girl who told you that I have been untrue
There's only one who'd like to see me dead
She'd sacrifice me gladly, she'd tell you any lie
She only wants to get you in her bed""Oh, I never would step out on you
What you heard, it just ain't true
Baby, don't do something you'll regret."
He said, "Your words are sweet,
But I ain't persuaded yet."How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again
How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again
How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again
How I long, how I long, how I long to be a single girl again
Oh, oh, oh...
The tears, they blocked his vision
He turned to wipe his eyes
I saw my chance; I turned around and fled
Out the door and down the street
Branches clinging to my feet
Bullets whizzing all around my head"Oh no, I never would step out on you, baby
What you heard, it just ain't true",
Said, "Baby, don't do something you'll regret."
He said, "Your words are sweet,
But I ain't persuaded yet."
