One Woman

By The Time I Get To Phoenix

You know when they say love makes the world go 'round, that's the truth

In a case of jealousy, love can make you mad

Now everybody, everybody's got his own thing

Now we should attempt to do a tune that is very popular

It was written by one of the great young songwriters of today

Now I don't know what he was thinking about or what inspired him to write this tune

There's a deep meaning to this tune because it shows you what the power of love can do

Now I should attempt it to do it my way, my own interpretation of it

Like I said, everybody's got it's own thing

Now I want you to bear along with me for a few minutes while I set it up

Now I want your imagination, I want you to travel with me

This young man was raised in the hills of Tennessee

When he reached the age of maturity, he moved to the West Coast

And he fell in love when he got out there to this young girl

Aw, man, she was out of sight. She was bad

And then they started dating and then the inevitable

But you see, girls, I don't mean to come down on you

He worked every day and sometimes he'd pull overtime, double time, triple time

He bought anything that this woman's heart desired, anything that he could rake and scrape

He spent his last dime on the woman because he loved her

You can take love and kindness sometime for weakness and she took it for granted

She said, "I got a fool and I know I got a fool. I got a good thing."

Yeah, she was standing around on the corner, you understand, meeting with her friends

She would go to the beauty salon, get her hair fixed

She'd go shopping and she would brag about her good thing that she's got

See, ain't nobody gonna believe what to tell him no way, fool

Oh, yeah, girls, you do like that sometimes

But one day, one day, the old boy got sick and he had to come home

He said, "Baby, Mama, why?" That's all he could say

But she said, "Oh, go on fool, you're doing it," but the man wasn't doing it

But that's the only excuse she could give him

He said, "Mama, I can't take it. I've got to leave you. I'm gonna leave you."

He packed up his rags, you understand, and he started out the door

And when he reached the driveway, you understand

He went in there begging just like my man Tyrone Davis

And he said, "Oh, mama, mama, mama, can I change, oh, my mind?"

You see, the power of love was upon him and he came back

When she tried to straighten up, she said she was gonna straighten up

She got a little job to help him out with the bills too,

But that was just a sham because he found it again and again

And seven times he left this woman and seven times he came back

Oh, but you know, the heart can take so much

You can kick a dog around for so long and he'll get tired

And the eighth time that this went down, he said, "Mama, I've got to go."

With tears in his eyes, he said, "I'm gonna leave you, baby."

He said, "I'm leaving my heart right here

But I've got to go, you see, 'cause this man can't take no more."

He packed his clothes. He got in his 1965 Ford

Three times he started to turn back before he reached the outskirts of the city

Oh, I don't wanna go, but I've got to leave you, mama

I guess it was around 3:30 in the morning

He could hardly see the road with tears in his eyes

He could barely see the sign that read on the side of the road

And these very words came into his mind. He said

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising

Oh, and she'll find a note I left hanging on her door

She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving

'Cause I've left that girl so many times before, oh
