Darned If I Don't (Danged If I Do)
Shenandoah · Certified Hits [2002]
Fit to be tied and bustin' at the seams
Got a bead on me, she's a-shootin' this way
I'm under the gun, should I run or stay?
On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low
But then on the other what a way to go
What kind of fix have I got me into
I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do.
She's got me wide eyed, tongue tied, beside myself
I'm tore up, talk me down, I might need help
Hold me back boys I ain't thinkin' straight
My head's cryin' run but my heart's sayin' wait.
On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low
But then on the other what a way to go
What kind of fix have I got me into
I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do.

Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low
But then on the other what a way to go
What kind of fix have I got me into
I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do.
Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low
But then on the other what a way to go
What kind of fix have I got me into
Well, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do.
Hey, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do.
Yeah, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do....
