Beatles - You Know My Name lyrics

(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)

Dearest, darlin'

I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore

For something happened to me

As I was driving home

And I'm not the same anymore

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Oh, only one day away from your arms

I saw the welcoming light

And stopped to rest for the night

And that is when I saw him

As I pulled in outside of a small hotel

He was there

And so I walked up to him

Asked where I could get something to eat

And he showed me where

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Oh, only one day away from your arms

He took me to the cafe

And he asked me if I would stay

I said "Okay"

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Oh, only one day away from your arms

The jukebox started to play

And nighttime turned into day

As we were dancing closely

All of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight

And then he kissed me, caressed me

Told me he would die before he would let me out of his arms

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Oh, only one day away from your arms

I hate to do this to you

But I've found somebody new

What can I do?

And I could never, never, never go home again
