Oh Shirley I love you you must believe I do   Cause Shirley I need to have and hold the both of you      Well Shirley I'm writing this in a hotel downtown I'm sure you remember the place   See I came back in the town to see our new baby today   And you slammed the door at my face   Now Shirley I know you've got every right to despise every breath that I take   But I'm praying there's still enough love in your heart   To forgive me that one big mistake   Cause Shirley Shirley I love you...      You know I have to admit that when I first heard the news   That my first thought was I had to run   You see Shirley I was too far along on my way to success   To be chained to a wife and a son   So I kept my name and you have to blame and you port with head held high   But I guess now all the while you were wearing a smile   You wanted to break down and cry   Shirley I love you...      I just jumped on that train and it took me away   And I well I thought I left the trouble behind   But I found out in a while with each passing mile what I really had left was my mind   So I'm back here to stay with you to have me or not   It's all up to you Shirley in your heart   All the heartaches you've had everything that's gone bad   I'll have to live with if we stay apart   Cause Shirley I love you...
