Walking The Floor Over You
You left me and you went away
Said that you'd be back in just a day, oh yeah
You've broken your promise and you left me here alone
I don't know why you did, dear
But I do know that you're gone
And I'm walking the floor over you
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
I can't sleep a wink, that is true
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Hopin' and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Walking the floor over you, yeah
Yeah, someday you may be lonesome too
Walking that floor is good for you, oh yeah
You just keep right on walking, and it won't hurt you to try
Remember that I love you, baby
And I will 'til the day I die
I'm walking the floor over you
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Can't sleep a wink, that is true, yeah
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Hopin' and I'm prayin' as my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Walking the floor over you
One more time now
I'm walking the floor over you
Can't sleep a wink, that is true, oh yeah
Hopin' and I'm prayin', Lord
As my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you
Yeah
Said that you'd be back in just a day, oh yeah
You've broken your promise and you left me here alone
I don't know why you did, dear
But I do know that you're gone
And I'm walking the floor over you
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
I can't sleep a wink, that is true
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Hopin' and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Walking the floor over you, yeah
Yeah, someday you may be lonesome too
Walking that floor is good for you, oh yeah
You just keep right on walking, and it won't hurt you to try
Remember that I love you, baby
And I will 'til the day I die
I'm walking the floor over you
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Can't sleep a wink, that is true, yeah
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Hopin' and I'm prayin' as my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walking, yes, I'm walking)
Walking the floor over you
One more time now
I'm walking the floor over you
Can't sleep a wink, that is true, oh yeah
Hopin' and I'm prayin', Lord
As my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you
Yeah
