Hangin' on to my peace of mind,
I just don't know
Hangin' on to those good times, baby,
just wanna let them roll
I'm gonna make it to the light and joy
I tell you I
Found somebody who can take me there
The apple of my eye
Oh -o h -oh -oh -oh -oh
Well, I just don't know
No, no, no, no
Oh -oh -oh -o h -oh -oh
I'll never let him go
Don't let me see that morning paper
Cause I don't need those dues
It's just the same old murder movie
But they call it the news
I'll tell you what would be some story
And what would set me free
Is it the same thing happen
to everybody
That just happened to me?
Oh, well, I just don't know,
no, no, no, no.
Oh, a loving soul.
Every time I see somebody
waking up in your house, whoa,
I turn around, but I still hear that sound.
Just when I'm about to lose my mind,
Here comes my baby,
singing like a nightingale
Coming my way down
along that devastation trail
Well, tell the Lord above
he's got a brand of love
that cannot fail
I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
That's no lie
Hanging on to my special friend
The apple of my eye
The apple of my eye
My inspiration too
He's got a lead on my heart and soul
And he knows just what to do
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Well I just don't know
No, no, no, no, whoa
Well, I get so low and my
mind's about to go
Here comes my baby
Singin' like a nightingale
Comin' my way down
along that devastation trail
Well, let the fires burn
and let the birds return
