I see you walkin' down the street
You look good straight down to your feet
I look away, Lord, Lord, I look away
'Cause you're the boss man's wife
You're gonna wreck my life
I look away, yeah, I look away
I can't take it one more time
Your eyes burn when they meet mine
I look away, no, no, I look away
You're like a long lean knife
You're gonna wreck my life
I look away, yeah, I look away
[Instrumental]
You been tryin' way too long
To get this man to do your wrong
I look away, Lord, Lord, I look away
I ask the Lord above
Why I can't have you love
I look away, I look away
Someday when your man is gone
I'll put you right were you belong
I'll look away, Lord, I will look away
You're like a long lean knife
You're gonna wreck my life
I look away, I look away
Oh!
Yeah I'm gonna look away
