Don't walk behind me
Beware Mr. Jones
Don't walk behind me
Beware Mr. Jones
I'm in love with your daughter sir
Believe me, I'm telling you now
Now, now, now, now, now, now
I'm in love with your daughter
People tell me that I'm not so good enough
To get in love with your daughter
But I know, and I know, and I know
That she loves me, and I love her so
They tell me what is wrong from what is right, but I know
I'm in love with your daughter
Let me tell you now, now, now, now, now, now
I'm in love with your daughter
I remember the first night that I met you
You looked straight into my eyes
And then you tell me how much you love me true
But all I know, I love no one but you
People tell me you are too good for me but all I can say
I love no one but you
They tell me what is wrong from what is right, but all I know
I love no one but you
But mister don't walk behind me
Beware Mr. Jones
I'm in love with your daughter sir
Believe me, I'm telling you now
Let me tell you now, now, now, now, now, now
I'm in love with your daughter
Let me tell you Mr. Jones
And she never, never, never...
