I'm 'onna get up in the morning I believe I'll dust my broom I'm 'onna get up in the morning I believe I'll dust my broom I quit the best gal I'm loving Now my friends can get my room I'm gonna write a letter Telephone every town I know I'm gonna write a letter Telephone every town I know If I don't find her in Silino She'll be in East Monroe I know I don't want no woman Want every downtown man she meet No, I don't want no woman Want every downtown man she meet She's a no good little darling She did a lot out on the street I believe I believe my time ain't long I believe I believe my time ain't long I ain't gonna leave my baby And break up my happy home

When I opened your letter yesterday I could not believe my eyes 'Cause I've already given all I have to give And I think it must have slipped your mind But I remember not so long ago I gave it all, it's gone and I gave it all to you Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine Oh do you hear me? I cannot believe it's true Are you really doing the things you do? No I cannot believe it's you, really you Oh these people I'm talking to don't understand Don't seem to realize They're listening but they're not hearing me They're being too cruel to be kind Any kind of feeling that I had is gone 'Cause I gave it all, it's gone and I gave it all to you Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine Oh do you hear me? I cannot believe it's true Are you really doing the things you do? No I cannot believe it's you, really you Over and over I keep on telling myself Over and over I hope I'm gonna wake up Over and over I know it's really happening And there's nothing that I can say 'Cos nothing can change all the things that you've done to me Nothing can make me stay Oh 'cause you know I cannot believe it's true Are you really doing the things you do? No I cannot believe it's you, really you I know it's a crying shame, it's all the same to you It seems all so well laid out but I cannot get through Never meant it to show It started happening, that's all you know Oh I gave it all to you Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine Oh do you hear me? I cannot believe it's true Are you really doing the things you do? No I cannot believe it's you, really you Over and over I keep on telling myself Over and over I hope I'm gonna wake up Over and over I know it's really happening And there's nothing that I can say 'Cos nothing can change all the things that you've done to me Nothing can make me stay 'Cause you know I cannot believe it's true Are you really doing the things you do? No I cannot believe it's you, really you

You touched me. You took me away. You left me confused when you said you couldn't stay. But now I know what you were trying to say. I can understand that I'm not the only one. But I believe our time is gonna come. I dream of you through every night, But you're not risin' with me, so I don't wanna see the light. Even if you can't come over, and I hoping that you might 'Cause when you're not here nothing's any fun. But I believe our time is gonna come. I believe our time is gonna come I believe our time is gonna come I believe our time is gonna I believe our time is gonna come
