She’s just a lady, you know she makes me smile
She’s just a woman, for her I’d walk a thousand miles
She’s just a child, you know she makes me cry
If you’re listening to me, you might see, she’s the apple of my eye

Listen close, I got a story to tell you all
About a woman and the things she done wrong
Dressed in red, she looked better than before
She stole my heart, then she threw it on the floor
It’s hard to see how I ever could believe
She might love only me

Chorus:
You gotta help me, my friends, you gotta take me away
You gotta lend me a hand and say
Take me away, take me away
Take me away, before I fall in love with her

She was a spider, now spinning her web
When I got all tangled up in her bed, you know
She tore apart everything I knew
About a world and a love that could be true
Now, I am blind, my heart, it cannot see
She took away that very part of me

Chorus:
You gotta help me, my friends, you gotta take me away
You gotta lend me a hand and say
Take me away, take me away
Take me away, before I fall in love with her

Now the day is done and the world seems so fine
Without her memory fillin’ up my mind
You know, I was a wreck, I couldn’t even dress myself
I couldn’t tie my shoes without somebody’s help
Now, I’m all alone and I have no romance
I run away at every woman’s glance
