Notes: Recorded July 20, 1949
Seems we always have to slip around
To be together, Dear
Slipping around
Afraid we might be found
I know I can't forget you
And I've gotta have you near
But we just have to
Slip around and live in constant fear
Oh, you're tied up with someone else
And I am all tied up, too
I know I've made mistakes, Dear
But I'm so in love with you
I hope some day I'll find a way
To bring you back to me
And I won't have to slip around
To have your company
Oh, you're tied up with someone else
And I'm all tied up, too
I know I've made mistakes, Dear
But I'm so in love with you
I hope some day I'll find a way
To bring you back to me
And I won't have to slip around
And I won't have to slip around
To have your company
