I can see her lyin' back in her satin dressIn a room where you do what you don't confessSundown, you'd better take careIf I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairsSundown, you'd better take careIf I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairsShe's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dreamAnd she don't always say what she really meansSometimes I think it's a shameWhen I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no painSometimes I think it's a shameWhen I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no painI can picture every move that a man could makeGetting lost in her lovin' is your first mistakeSundown, you'd better take careIf I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairsSometimes I think it's a sinWhen I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' againI can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeansShe's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' meanSometimes I think it's a shameWhen I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no painSundown, you'd better take careIf I'd find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairsSundown, you'd better take careIf I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairsSometimes I think it's a sinWhen I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' againLyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind | By: Gordon Lightfoot | Lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc.

Silence

Intro

Verse

I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown, you'd better take care

Chorus

If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

Instrumental

Verse

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I'd find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you'd better take care

Chorus

If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
