Well don't you stop wasting time, come back down the line I'm right where you left me before I can't say I've been behaved You'd not believe me anyways There's been other women, of course So hold me to this one I won't make the same mistakes anymore Come on now darlin', please darken my door With me is where you belong So bring yourself back home We'll tear this town down to the ground White water tavern nights Old songs and cheap red wine There's no finer mess to be found I'll hold you to this one I still hear your footsteps crossing the floor Come on now darlin', please darken my door Your bare feet on hardwood, that barely make a sound From the kitchen to the bedroom, with all the lights down A gla** of water, some whiskey, the smoke in your hair All I taste is the perfume you wear Oh, that perfume you wear I don't expect that you will stay, gone are the good old days Damn weren't we sure something else? I've caused enough trouble here, so girl get it in high gear And come save me from myself We'll hold to this one I still taste that god awful perfume you wore Now we'll hold to this one I won't make the same mistakes anymore Come on now darlin', please darken my door Alright, come on now darlin' Come on now darlin' Come on now darlin', please darken my door
