You’re Driving Me (To the Arms of a Stranger) Songtext
von Mavis Staples

Oh, way-ee
You better listen, boy (you better listen here)

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
Mm-mm
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

Driving me, baby, 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
You′ve led temptation, in a field without a relation
So, I find myself searching for someone new


Ooh, I'm a just a girl here (I′m a just a girl)
Too weak to fight (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
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 (I′m just a girl)
Too weak to fight (too weak to fight)
Oh, this temptation
When you leave me lonely every night

Driving me, driving me
Driving me into the arms of a stranger
Driving me, yeah, ooh, wee
Driving me into the arms of a stranger


Oh-ho-hey, yeah
Driving me, you're driving me, yeah
Driving me to the arms of a stranger
Driving me
