J. Geils Band Lyrics

I didn't take the warning
I ignored the caution and didn't think about the consequences

I really didn't care
I didn't give any importance to the warning

I had already gone too far
I was already deeply involved in something that I shouldn't have done

To let them steal my share
I didn't want to lose what I had gotten so far

So, like a fool I took 'em on
I decided to confront them even though it wasn't wise

And as my anger cool
As I calmed down and thought rationally

I realized I could take all mine
I understood that I could retrieve what belonged to me

And skip off with theirs, too
I could also take their share along with mine

I know I must be crazy
I realize that my actions are unwise

I'm bound to wake up dead
I fear that my actions will lead to my death

Somebody, somebody
An unknown person

Waitin' outside my back door
Is waiting outside my house

Tryin' to even up the score
Trying to get revenge or make things equal in their favor

I figured I should lay real low
I thought that it was better to stay hidden and not come out

And stayed away from town
I avoided going into the city

I covered up all my moves
I made sure that nobody could track me or figure out what I was doing

So, it'd be hard to track me down
To make it difficult for anyone to find me

But I started gettin' shaky
I began to feel nervous and scared

And I paced around the floor
I walked back and forth nervously

Hiding out all alone
Staying hidden and alone to avoid being caught

I couldn't take much more
I couldn't handle the pressure and stress anymore

Just sitting 'round here waitin'
Just waiting in one place and not doing anything productive

Is drivin' me up the wall
Is making me crazy and anxious

So, I called up my old friend Marlene
I contacted my friend Marlene

Who was lookin' for some fun
Who was willing to do something exciting or adventurous

I got drunk and like a fool
I drank a lot of alcohol and acted stupidly

I told her, what I'd done
I confided in her about my actions and mistakes

I heard them knockin' at my door
I heard someone knocking on my door

They got to me at last
They finally caught me

It don't take much to figure out
It was easy to understand

How they'd found me out so fast
How they were able to locate me quickly

And when I looked for my Marlene
When I searched for my friend Marlene

I saw that she was gone
I realized that she had left
