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
