What did I do wrong?
I don't remember being nice
I didn't repent one sin
Or reform any vice
I was always true to my lowdown dirty ways
And she said she would leave me
But she won't go away
She won't go away
She won't go away
In fact she thinks she's a saint
Every minute she stays
She's so full of good intentions
But she won't make my day
She threatens to leave me
But she won't go away
This just can't go on
I've got to make her see
That she's wasting her life
With someone like me
'Cause my soul's been traveling too long down that lost highway
She could still save herself
But she won't go away
She won't go away
She won't go away
In fact she thinks she's a saint
Every minute she stays
She's so full of good intentions
But she won't make my day
She threatens to leave me
But she won't go away
I talked to her mama
She was quick to agree
Her daughter's wasting her life
With someone like me
Even her momma told her to leave me if I didn't change
Well momma I'm still the same
But she won't go away
She won't go away
She won't go away
In fact she thinks she's a saint
Every minute she stays
She's so full of good intentions
But she won't make my day
She threatens to leave me
But she won't go away
She threatens to leave me
But she won't go away
She threatens to leave me
But she won't go away
