Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense
  I feel like the whole world gonna end up against the fence
  I've been hit too hard, seen too much
  Nothing can heal me now but your touch
  I just don't know what I'm gonna do
  I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.
    Well, my house is on fire, burnin' to the sky
  Well, I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by
  And I feel like I'm comin' to the end of my way
  I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
  Still, I don't know what I'm gonna do
  I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.
    Boys in the street beginnin' to play
  Girls like birds, flyin' away
  When I'm gone you will remember my name
  I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame
  Yet I just don't know what I'm gonna do
  I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.
    Well, junk's pilin' up, takin' up space
  My eyes feel like they've fallen off my face
  Sweat pourin' down, I'm starin' at the floor
  I'm thinkin' about that girl who won't be back no more
  I just don't know what to do
  I was all right 'til I fell in love with you.
    Well, I'm tired of talkin', I'm tired of tryin' to explain
  My attemps to please ya, they were all in vain
  Tomorrow night before the sun goes down
  If I'm still among the livin' I'll be Dixie bound
  Still, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
  I was all right, 'til I fell in love with you.
