I didn't mean to stay out all night drinkin'
I didn't mean to stay out 'til the break of day
I didn't mean to stay out 'til the goddamn cows came home
Please believe me, it just happened this way
Oh darlin' please, believe me, it just happened this way
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be damned when I try to find my own way back home
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be standin' at your window, I'll be cryin' at your door
Oh baby, it's gettin' bright outside, let me in
I wasn't fixin' to stay 'til closin' time
I hadn't planned on runnin' into that moonshine
I tried to get me home by eight, but I was ten hours too late
Believe me, it just happened this way
Oh darlin' please, believe me, it just happened this way
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be damned when I try to find my own way back home
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be standin' at your window, I'll be cryin' at your door
Oh baby, it's gettin' light outside, let me in
There was no plate of dinner in the over
So I know I ain't about to get no lovin'
I didn't mean to stay out 'til the goddamn cows came home
Please believe me, it just happened this way
Oh darlin' please, believe me, it just happened this way
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be damned when I try to find my own way back home
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be standin' at your window, I'll be cryin' at your door
Oh baby, it's gettin' light outside, let me in
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be damned when I try to find my own way back home
I'll be damned if I do, I'll be damned if I don't
I'll be standin' at your window, I'll be cryin' at your door
Oh baby, it's gettin' light outside, let me in
I'll be sayin' "Baby, it's gettin' light outside, let me in"
