Oh yeah
It was early one morning, I was, on my way to school Early one morning, I was, on my way to school I met a magic1 woman, and she broke my teacher's rule
I'm in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name I'm in love with that woman, before I learn to call her name The way you treat me, is doggone2 insane, oh yeah
Now why don't you tell me baby, honey where you stayed last night Yes, tell me baby, honey where you stayed last night You didn't come home, darling un-till3 the sun was shinin' bright, ohh no
