Thought about goin' back to you thought about holdin' you in my arms
Thought about kissing you too and got to my feet in the thought that you cheat Couldn't do it and I backed out
Thought about leaving this city catch the very next plane out of town
Took my suitcases down and got to the door hadn't seen you once more
Couldn't leave you and I backed out
Backed out of it ride into it from the devil to the deep blue sea
Can't live with you and can't live without you don't know what's gonna happen to me
(Don't know what's gonna happen to me)
[ ac.guitar ]
Backed out of it ride into it from the devil to the deep blue sea
Can't live with you and can't live without you don't know what's gonna happen to me
Couldn't leave you and I backed out don't know what's gonna happen to me
