by

recording of 1997 
from

Walkin' the Back Streets, I am hanging down real low 
Walkin' the Back Streets, my head is hanging down real low 
I just lost what I've loved and I don't know where else to go 
Tried to quit you, baby, but it just don't work for me 
Tried to quit you, woman, but it don't work for me 
I'm so deep in love with you, woman, everybody knows, but you can't see 
Come on, baby, try it just a little while 
Come back, woman, let's try it just a little while 
Do everything you can, for me you're a little child 
Tried to quit you, baby, it just don't work for me 
Tried to put you down, but it don't work for me 
I'm your only one, like ev'rybody in the world can see 
You know I love you, baby, would you please try to love me 
You know I love you, woman, would you please try to love me 
If you don't work it out, baby, I'll be down on Back Street
