D-DU-UDU
I’m  hanging on to my peace of mind
 I just don’t know
 I’m hanging on to those good times, baby
 Just want to let them roll
 I’m gonna make it to the light and joy
 I’ll tell you why
 I got a woman who can take me there
 The apple of my eye
Oh,  I just don’t know, no no, no, no
I  love her so
 Don’t let me see that morning paper
 Cause I don’t need those dues
 It’s just the same old murder movie
 But they call it the news
 I’ll tell you what would be some story
 And what would set me free
 Is if the same thing happened to everybody
 That just happened to me,
oh,  I just don’t know, no, no, no, no
I’ll  never let her go
Every  time I hear somebody
sneakin’up  behind,
I  turn around but I still hear that sound
 And just  when I’m about to lose my mind
Here  comes my baby
Singing  like a nightingale
Coming  my way down along
That  devastation trail
 well tell  the lord above
 She’s got a brand  of love
 That cannot fail
 I’m hanging on to my peace of mind
 That’s no lie
 I’m hanging on to my special friend
 The apple of my eye
 My inspiration, too
 She’s got a lead on my heart and
 My soul and she knows just what to do
 Oh, I just don’t know, no ,no, no, no
 No, I get so low, and my mind’s about to go
 But wait a minute, here comes my baby
 Singing like a nightingale
 Coming my way down along that devastation
 Trail
 Well, let the fires burn, let the
 Floods return
 We will prevail
 Hanging on to my peace of mind
 I just don’t know
