She used to leave the love-light on
But I'd come home stumbling in, early in morning
And I'd smell the perfume, condition red
That guilty feeling liked to punch me in the chest
I'm breathless, I've been a slave to love
I've learned my lesson, have mercy on my soul
Get a life, oh get along
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Shame on me, shot down in flames, yeah
Stop messing around, stop messing around
This time I'm gonna change
I've been walking on a tightrope, catch me if you can
I'm looking a love affair, so caught me red-handed
They don't give out medals when you break a woman's heart
Stop messing around, midnight creeping in the dark
I'm breathless, I've been a slave to love
I've learned my lesson, have mercy on my soul
Get a life, oh get along
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Shame on me, shot down in flames, yeah
Stop messing around, stop messing around
This time I'm gonna change
We're all slaves in cities
Jaded angels with no one else to blame
Yeah, turn around, put the flame on me
Stop messing around, oh love
Get a life, oh get along
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Shame on me, shot down in flames, yeah
Stop messing around, stop, hey
This time I'm gonna change
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
Stop messing around, I'm the one that you love
