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 whoa, 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
