You're Driving Me (To The Arms Of A Stranger) - Mavis Staples

You’re always on the go

Partying seems to be the only thing you know

But I’m supposed to be the one you love desperately

And when I ask for a little love, you say you don’t have time

Mmmmm

Now it’s true I love you baby, and I love you only

But can’t you see boy, you’re leaving me so lonely

And you’re driving me, baby, you’re driving me

You’re driving me here into the arms of a stranger

Yeah, driving me, driving me

Driving me into the arms of a stranger

Trying to be a do right girl

I’ve been trying to do right by you

But you’ve led temptation, in a field without a relation

So I find myself searching for someone new

Oh, I’m a just a girl here

Too weak to fight this temptation

When you leave me lonely every night

And you’re driving me, driving me

Driving me into the arms of a stranger

And you’re driving me, driving me

You’re driving me into the arms of a stranger

(This is a little situation

You better check yourself out

I’m not gonna sit here waiting

While you’re running about

You better straighten up baby

You better check yourself out

Driving me, driving me)

I’m just a girl, too weak to fight

Oh, this temptation when you leave me lonely every night

And you’re driving me, driving me

Driving me into the arms of a stranger

And you’re driving me, yeah, ooh wee

And you’re driving me into the arms of a stranger

Oh-ho-hey, yeah

Driving me, you’re driving me, yeah

In the arms of a stranger
