Never Make Your Move Too Soon
Three days of snow in a burnin' hell
Bet you're wonderin' where I am
Rang that number all night long
Got no comfort on the telephone
Went out and caught me a midnight flight
Thought a little love would make it all alright
But the landlord said you moved away and left me all of your bills to pay
Look out baby I think you might have made your move too soon
He left me with a Keno card, livin' in Vegas ain't too hard
I ran it up to about 50 grand, counted it out and held it in my hand
That kinda word will get around, and make a lost love come up found
I hear ya knockin' baby at my door, but you don't live here no more
Oh no, I think he made his move too soon
I've been from Spain to Tokyo, from Africa to Ohio
I never try to make the news, I'm just a man who sings those low down blues
I'll take my lovin everywhere, I come back to know they still care
One lover here, one love behind, one in my arms, one on my mind
One thing baby never make a move too soon
Yeah baby, never make your move too soon
Well you can count on this baby, we never make a move too soon
(Too soon)
