"Get Her Back" lyrics

I had me a woman one time
Back a long time ago
She seemed to treat me so fine
I didn't want to let her go
She'd find a new way to
Find peace of mind
She left me flat and standing here
With nothing but a dime
She said she found herself
Another way of life
I gave her my everything
And treated her right

Didn't know what it was about her
But I want her back
Oh Lord would you help me please
I gotta get me back

My daddy told me one time
Son don't ya be no fool
Most women will treat you kind
Then they'll treat you cruel
But you got to look forward
To a new day that's coming
Got to quit chasing that girl son
Slow up your running
Things will get better son
A new day tomorrow
Forget about that girl and
Throw away your sorrow

I couldn't forget about her
Not about that stuff
She'd been with me too long
But let her have it rough

I had me woman one time
Back a long time ago
She seemed to treat me so fine
I didn't want to let her go
She'd find a new way to
Find peace of mind
She left me flat and standing here
With nothing but a dime
She said she found herself
Another way of life
I gave her my everything
And treated her right

Didn't know what it was about her
But I want her back
Oh Lord would you help me please
I gotta get me back
