I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don't know
I'm hanging on to those good times, baby
Just want to let them rollI'm gonna make it to the light and joy
I'll tell you why
I got a woman who can take me there
The apple of my eyeOh, I just don't know, no no, no, no
Oh, I love her soDon't let me see that morning paper
'Cause I don't need those dues
It's just the same old murder movie
But they call it the newsI'll tell you what would be some story
And what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
That just happened to meOh, I just don't know, no, no, no, no
Oh, I'll never let her go, no, no, noAnd every time I hear somebody
Sneakin' up behind
Oh, I turn around but I still hear that sound
And just when I'm about to lose my mindHere comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way
Down along that devastation trail
Well, tell the Lord above
She's got a brand of love that cannot failI'm hanging on to my peace of mind
And that's no lie
I'm hanging on to my special friend
The apple of my eyeThe apple of my eye, my inspiration too
She's got a lead on my heart and my soul
And she knows just what to do
Oh, I just don't know, no, no, no, no
Oh, I get so low and my mind's about to goBut wait a minute, here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way
Down along that devastation trail
Well, let the fires burn
And let the floods return, we will prevailHanging on to my peace of mind
I just don't know
