Ernest Tubb – Slippin’ Around Lyrics

Seems I always had to slip around to be with you my dear
Slippin’ around afraid we’d might be found
I know I can’t forget you and I’ve got to have you near
But we’ll just have to slip around and live in constant fear
Though you’re tied up with someone else and I’m all tied up too
I know I’ve made mistakes dear but I’m so in love with you
I hope someday I’ll find a way to bring you back with me
Then I won’t have to slip around to have our company
Though you’re tied up…
