Well, I've been out on the street since yesterday

Been looking for the woman that got away

A long-legged thing with a red dress on

The kind of woman you can't leave alone



Listen, if you see her, send her my way

Looking for the woman that got away



The last time I seen her she was looking good

I had a feeling that she understood

She slipped through my fingers in the middle of the night

I've gotta find my woman and treat her right



Listen, if you see her, send her my way

Looking for the woman that got away



If I ever get my hands on that woman again

I'm gonna lock my door and keep her in

She won't do no travelling, won't follow me 'round

I'm gonna keep my woman and leave town
