Lyrics
I've been standing for a long time
But I ain't gonna stand it any more
I'm gonna leave here running just as
Soon as I can make it through the door
The more you try to stop me, the faster that you gonna make me go
I'm slippin' and a-slidin', baby, you can see me runnin' down the road
That's a high class woman and she's
Always tryin' to find a better deal
She got money for a motor and a dollar is her driving wheel
She got her hand in my pocket to mind on the money that I owe
Well, I'm slippin' and a-slidin' and
I'm looking for a better place to go
A-livin' in the city, she was livin' all around the neighborhood
And if she didn't do me wrong, I know
She didn't mean to do me any good
But deep inside her heart, the temperature is twenty-five below
I've been slippin' and a-slidin' ever
Since she left me out here in the cold
Just another night time, just a little further down the line
I had a dream about a woman and I
Really wished to God that she was mine
She's standing in the alley saying
"Don't you wanna rock me, daddy-o?"
And I'm slippin' and a-slidin' and I wanna take her with me when I go
Oh, honey, honey, honey, don't you leave me standing here
You can drive my motor, mama, 'cause I
Really love the way you shake them gears
You can take me back, yeah, you can take me all the way back home
I'm slippin' and a-slidin', baby, I can see you comin' down the road
