I took the front door in
But I had to take the back door out
I took the front door in
But I had to take the back door out
I was sleeping mighty peaceful
When I heard somebody shout
Well I grabbed my clothes
Didn't even take the time to dress
I grabbed my clothes
Didn't even take the time to dress
I got awful tired of running
Didn't even take the time to rest
I ran down every alley
I cut across every lot
I took a look behind me
I though I heard a shot
Well I made it to the house
Slammed the latch down on the door
That woman's got a husband
And I won't go there no more
I thought she was mine
But she was someone else's wife
I took the front door in
And I almost lost my life
