Never Make My Move Too Soon
Three days of snow in Birmingham
Thought you would wonder where I am
Called your number all night long
It's no comfort on the telephone
Ran out and caught a midnight flight
Thought a little love would make everything all right
The landlord said you moved away
Left me with all your bills to pay
Look out baby,
I think you made your move too soon
This life in Vegas sure ain't hard
He left me with a Keno card
I ran it up to about fifty grand
Cashed it in and held it in my hand
That kind of word can get around
And make a lost love come up found
I hear you knocking at my door
But you ain't living here no more
It's too bad, baby
I'll never make my move too soon
I've been from Spain to Tokyo
From Africa to Ohio
I never tried to make the news
I'm just a woman who sings the blues
I take my love everywhere
I come back and, honey, they still care
One love ahead
One love behind
One in my arms and one on my mind
One thing, babe
I never make my move too soon
One thing, babe
I never, never, never make my move too soon
