Took you from Dakota from the Black Hills to the plains I brought you up a lady and the right way to behave Turned my pockets inside-out and not a dime was saved And now you're trying to decide whether to go or stay Don't let a little thing like love keep on bringing you down, my babe Or ever change the plans you made Don't let a little thing like tears keep on turning you 'round, my babe You're old enough to change your ways And if you're feeling all run down, you look for the brighter lights uptown Don't let a little thing like me ever stand in your way Took you on a fast train across the Rio Grande A Mexicano wedding with a Tijuana band You blew my whole life savings and all the gold I'd panned So if you're trying to find a way to say your sweet goodbyes Don't let a little thing like love keep on bringing you down, my babe Or ever change the plans you made Don't let a little thing like tears keep on turning you 'round, my babe You're old enough to change your ways And if you're feeling all run down, you look for the brighter lights uptown Don't let a little thing like me ever stand in your way You're old enough to change your ways And if you're feeling all run down You look for the right to light the town Don't let a little thing like me Ever stand in your way Don't let a little thing like love
