She never meant to turn you on
She didn’t mean to take so long
To come around
Just to come around
She didn’t think that you would care
She didn’t know you’d still be there
How could she have known
Sally don’t work here no more
So lay a body on the [?]
You’ve been resistin’ all these years
If you act natural
We may have let you stick around
Things aren’t always as they seem
I still have those vivid dreams
Where Sally sings to me
Just about every night
She said
Slow down, till the whole town is watchin’ you
From across the room
You are so stiff
I don’t know if I could stay for long
Think I left the oven on
You dug a ditch you headed south
But nobody wants to hear about
All your aches and pain
You’re going to wake everyone
She never meant to turn you on
She didn’t mean to take so long
To close that door
Sally don’t work here no more
