I probably wouldn't be this way
Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you

You oughta see the way these people look at me
When they see me round here talking to this stone
Everybody thinks I've lost my mind

God gave me a moment's grace
Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't be this way
E F#
Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
E
Everybody says I'm crazy
F#
Guess I'll have to see
