I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don't know

I'm hanging on to those good times, baby
Just won't let them roll
I'm gonna make it to the light and joy
I'll tell you why

I gotta woman who can take me there
The apple of my eye

Oh, wo,I just don't know, no, no, no, no,
No, wo, I love her so

When you see that morning paper
'Cause I don't need those dues
It's just the same old murder movie
You can call it the news
I'll tell you what would be some story
And what would set me free
'Cause if the same thing
Happen to everybody
That just happened to me

Oh, wo, I just don't know, no, no, no, no
No, wo, I'll never let her go

Everytime I hear somebody
Sneaking in behind
Wo, I turn around
But I still hear that sound
And just when I'm about
to lose my mind
Here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way
Down along that devastation trail
Tell the lord above
She's got a brand of love that cannot fail

I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
That's no lie
I'm hanging on to my special friend
The apple of my eye
The apple of my eye
My inspiration, too
She's got a lead on my heart and my soul
And she knows just what to do

Oh, wo, I just don't know, no ,no, no, no
No, wo, I get so low and my mind's
About to go but wait a minute

Here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way
Down along that devastation trail
Oh, let the fires burn and let
The flood's return and we'll prevail

Hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don't know
Woo.......
