You're Driving Me (To The Arms Of A Stranger)

(álbum: Mavis Staples - 1969)

Ooooh weee, you better listen boy (You better listen here)

You're always on the go
Partying seems to be the only thing you know
But I'm supposed to be the one you love desperately
And when I ask for a little love, you say you don't have time
Mmmmm
Now it's true I love you baby, and I love you only
But can't you see boy, you're leaving me so lonely

And you're driving me, baby, you're driving me
You're driving me here into the arms of a stranger
Yeah, driving me, driving me
Driving me into the arms of a stranger

Trying to be a do right girl
I've been trying to do right by you
But you've led temptation, in a field without a relation
So I find myself searching for someone new

Oh, I'm a just a girl here
Too weak to fight this temptation
When you leave me lonely every night

And you're driving me, driving me
Driving me into the arms of a stranger
And you're driving me, driving me
You're driving me into the arms of a stranger

(This is a little situation
You better check yourself out
I'm not gonna sit here waiting
While you're running about
You better straighten up baby
You better check yourself out
Driving me, driving me)

I'm just a girl, too weak to fight
Oh, this temptation when you leave me lonely every night

And you're driving me, driving me
Driving me into the arms of a stranger
And you're driving me, yeah, ooh wee
And you're driving me into the arms of a stranger

Oh-ho-hey, yeah
Driving me, you're driving me, yeah
In the arms of a stranger
