Billy Burnette Lyrics
"Tryin' To Get Away"

I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar
Tried to sneak one out but I didn't get far
Got a sweet tooth baby and it will not wait
Got a true blue heart and it's about to break

I'm just tryin' to get away
To love another day
Tryin' to get away with you

I'm just tryin' to get away
I'm stealin' you baby
Tryin' to get away with you

Well all is fair in love and war
I'm gonna get you in the end
And that's for sure
Someday baby when you turn around
You're gonna think I'm the most wanted man in town

I'm just tryin' to get away
To love another day
Tryin' to get away with you

I'm just tryin' to get away
I'm stealin' you baby
Tryin' to get away with you

Well you're so precious
You're so fine
I sure do wish that you were mine
Well you got a man that ain't been treatin' you right
I'm gonna take you baby without a fight

I'm just tryin' to get away
To love another day
Tryin' to get away with you

I'm just tryin' to get away
I'm stealin' you baby
Tryin' to get away with you

Well lock me away for the rest of my life
As long as you're right there by my side
I'll do my time, won't sing no blues, baby
I'm guilty of the love accused

I'm just tryin' to get away
To love another day
Tryin' to get away with you

I'm just tryin' to get away
I'm stealin' you baby
Tryin' to get away with you

I'm just tryin' to get away
To love another day
Tryin' to get away with you

I'm just tryin' to get away
I'm stealin' you baby
Tryin' to get away with you
