Who's that woman on your arm All dressed up to do you harm And I'm hip to what she'll do, Give her just about a month or two. Bit off more than I can chew And I knew what it was leading to, Some things, well, I can't refuse, One of them, one of them the bedroom blues. She delivers right on time, I can't resist a corny line, But take the shine right off you shoes, Carryin', carryin' the bedroom blues. In the bar you're getting drunk, I ain't in love, I ain't in luck. Hide the switch and shut the light, Let it all come down tonight. Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger, Some face you'll never see no more. Let it all come down tonight. Keep those tears hid out of sight, Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down. Let it loose, let it all come down.
