Lyrics:

Rock steady, baby, your man is dead
Be careful, sugar, of who you call a friend
'Cause they'll get you in the end

Step easy, baby, and don't you cry
She had another brother on the side
You could not let it slide

And if, my love, I said Im sorry
Would you believe me? Should I cry?
Then hold me as I die

And the ones who live are the ones who fly
And the ones who crawl come crawling by and by
On back to you again

But I ain't never going to see you again
And Im never going to feel you again
So let this moment never ever end

And if, my love, I said Im sorry
Would you believe me? Should I cry?
Then hold me as I die, as I die

And if, my love, I said Im sorry
Would you believe me? Should I cry?
Then hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me as I die
