Well, I've been out on

The street since yesterday

Been looking for

The woman that got away

A long-legged thing

With a red dress on

The kind of woman

You can't leave alone

Listen, if you see her,

Send her my way

Looking for the woman

That got away

The last time I seen her

She was looking good

I had a feeling

That she understood

She slipped through my fingers

In the middle of the night

I've gotta find my woman

And treat her right

Listen, if you see her,

Send her my way

Looking for the woman

That got away

If I ever get my hands

On that woman again

I'm gonna lock my door

And keep her in

She won't do no travelling,

Won't follow me 'round

I'm gonna keep my woman

And leave town
