Here I stand watchin' her walk away from me again I knew she'd do it It's the same old thing she's done so many times it seems by now I'd be used to do it Every time she comes back home I take her back like before Every time I take her back she says she won't do it no more There she goes there she goes She's doing it to me again How long will it take to learn She's doing it to me again She lights my fire and leaves me here to burn [ fiddle - steel ] She's got me wrapped around her finger goin' up and down Like a yo-yo Her sweet love lifts me up and then her lovin' brings me down I get so low She can make me walk a chalk line she can make me eat crow She can be the sweetest thing or she can be a so and so Cause there she goes there she goes She's doing it to me again... She lights my fire and leaves me here to burn
