Words by Shawn Mullins

What I'd give to be you for an hour or two
Oh tell me a story of fortune and glory things I
Never knew for I am the hungry and I am the poor 
I've got one foot outside where the world is alive 
And the other foot nailed to the floor 
But it's always the one with the terrible past who surprises me most
Who puts himself last - five nights in hell and a forty day fast 
I remember her well tho I don't know her name 
Her touch was a river so cold made me shiver and shake with disdain 
And I'll never know why you chose me to haunt 
But I'll say what I can hoping you'll understand that it's not you I want.(Words & music: Fred Wise / Ben Weisman / Dolores Fuller)

Listen, little lady, you're steppin' out of line,
What's your hurry baby, you got a lot of time,
Well that's not love you feel, it's only make believe,
Watch out, you'll break the heart you're wearing on you sleeve.

Cheating with your kisses,
You think you know it all,
Old worry gonna get you, you're riding for a fall
Better slow it down, I see a danger sign,
‘Cause the way you're steppin' around
You're steppin' out of line,
You're steppin' out of line.

You're cheating with your kisses,
You think you know it all,
Old worry gonna get you, you're riding for a fall
Better slow it down, I see a danger sign,
‘Cause the way you're steppin' around
You're steppin' out of line,
You're steppin' out of line.
You're steppin' out of line,
Well, you're steppin' out of line.
