I fall to pieces  
Each time someone speaks your name  
I fall to pieces  
Time only adds to the flame

I call your name but you’re not there  
Was I to blame for being unfair  
Oh I can’t sleep at night  
Since you’ve been gone  
I never weep at night  
I can’t go on

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked  
The way she’d act and the colour of her hair  
Her voice was soft and cool  
Her eyes were clear and bright  
But she’s not there

She’s gone, she’s gone,  
Oh why? Oh why?  
I better learn how to face it.  
She’s gone, she’s gone,  
Oh why? Oh why?  
I’d pay the devil to replace her.  
She’s gone, she’s gone.  
Oh why?  
What went wrong?

Don’t let the devil ride,  
Oh, don’t let the devil ride,  
If you let the devil ride,  
He will want to drive,  
Don’t let him ride

Goodbye, hard life  
Don’t cry, would you let it ride?  
Goodbye, hard life  
Don’t cry, would you let it ride?

You can see the mornin’, but I can see the light]  
Try, try, try, let it ride  
While you’ve been out runnin’, I’ve been waitin’ half the night  
Try, try, try, let it ride

Is like a drum  
Will it stop?

Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you, brother  
She’s been sleeping in the Devil’s bed  
And there’s some rumors going 'round, someone’s underground  
She can rock you in the nighttime 'til your skin turns red

Woo-hoo, witchy woman  
See how high she flies  
Woo-hoo, witchy woman  
She got the moon in her eye

Stay away from my window  
Stay away from my back door too  
Disconnect the telephone line  
Relax baby and draw that blind

Kick off your shoes and sit right down  
Loosen off that pretty french gown  
Let me pour you a good long drink  
Ooh baby, don’t you hesitate 'cause

Tonight’s the night  
It’s gonna be alright  
'Cause I love you girl  
Ain’t nobody gonna stop us now

He went away and you hung around and bothered me every night  
When I wouldn’t go out with you you  
Said things that weren’t very nice.

My boyfriend’s back and you’re gonna be in trouble  
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend’s back)
