I can see her lying back in her satin dress

In a room where you do what you don't confess,

Sundown, you'de better take care

If I find you've been creeping 'round my back stairs.

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you've been creeping 'round my back stairs.



She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream

And she don't always say what she really mean.

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you've been creeping 'round my back stairs.

Sometimes I think it's a shame

When I get better loving and I'm feeling no pain.



I can picture every move that a man can make

Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake,

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you've been creeping 'round my back stairs.

Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again.



I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans

She's a hard-loving woman, got me feeling mean.

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you've been creeping 'round my back stairs.

Sometimes, I think it's a shame

When I get better loving and I'm feeling no pain.

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you've been creeping 'round my back stairs.

Sometimes, I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again.
