I come
in on a shoe string
I go out on a dime
A tin of shag and sleeping bag
An d all I got is black
Some say I'm a no -good,
some laugh at my style
But does it solve some good
to let your candle burn a while?
Oo h -wee, ooh -wee,
oo h -wee
Let your candle burn a while
There's a fella I'm caught in
Every time I come
around
He's got all it takes
It almost makes me
Wanna settle down
We do the soft shoe shuffle
With the moon up above
He keeps my candle bright
Hey, I'm his lady love
Ooh -wee, keeps it burnin'
Ooh -wee, keeps my candle burnin'
Ooh -wee, keeps it burnin'
I'm his lady love
Fixin' this and fixin' that,
set my hand
Take a ride on how I dress
Folks don't appreciate
the care you take
The world's too frantic for true romance
Keep your candle burnin', baby
I may be comin' to your town
Ooh -wee, keep it burnin'
Ooh -wee, keep that candle burnin'
Ooh -wee, keep it burnin'
Ooh -wee, keep that candle burnin'
Ooh -wee, keep it burnin'
I may be passin' through your town
Ooh -wee, keep it burnin'
Ooh -wee, keep that candle burnin'
Ooh -wee, keep it burnin'
Oo h, keep a candle burnin'
Ooh, keep a burnin' baby
Ooh, keep a burnin'
