it was a good time darlin'
we didn't need nobody else
but for the long run darlin'
you're gonna find somebody else

and momma said son you know
take it slow
you're gonna hurt somebody
you're gonna hurt somebody
and poppa said son you know
feel the flow
you gotta leave somebody
you gotta leave somebody

and i said hey girl you know i'm not good at makin' petty talk
i'm leavin' in the mornin'
i hope you know
you were a good one baby
hey girl you know i'm not good at makin' sweet talk
i'm leavin' in the mornin'
i hope you know
you were the best i ever had

it was a good time darlin'
and it's a shame it ended fast
but for the long run darlin'
good things can never last

and momma said son you know
take it slow
you're gonna hurt somebody
you're gonna hurt somebody
and poppa said son you know
feel the flow
you gotta leave somebody
you gotta leave somebody
