She's just a lady, you know she makes me smile She's just a woman, for her I'd walk a thousand miles She's just a child, you know she makes me cry If you're listening to me, you might see, she's the apple of my eye Listen close, I got a story to tell you all About a woman and the things she done wrong Dressed in red, she looked better than before She stole my heart, then she threw it on the floor It's hard to see how I ever could believe She might love only me Chorus: You gotta help me, my friends, you gotta take me away You gotta lend me a hand and say Take me away, take me away Take me away, before I fall in love with her She was a spider, now spinning her web When I got all tangled up in her bed, you know She tore apart everything I knew About a world and a love that could be true Now, I am blind, my heart, it cannot see She took away that very part of me Chorus: You gotta help me, my friends, you gotta take me away You gotta lend me a hand and say Take me away, take me away Take me away, before I fall in love with her Now the day is done and the world seems so fine Without her memory fillin' up my mind You know, I was a wreck, I couldn't even dress myself I couldn't tie my shoes without somebody's help Now, I'm all alone and I have no romance I run away at every woman's glance
