"You Must Walk The Line" lyrics

"You Must Walk The Line"

My dear, you cannot go your way
And leave your love behind
For that's a game that you can't play
You very soon will find

If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line
If I can't play around, you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line

This little game of love sweetheart
Has rules you know for two
And what you think applies to me
Is good enough for you

If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line
If I can't play around, you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line

The Golden Rule is good enough
Now that I can't deny
But you just try to step your stuff
And watch my colors fly

If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line
If I can't play around, you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because, a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line

If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line
If I can't play around, you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because, a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toll the mark, then you must walk the line
