[Verse 1]

When you saw me in that boardwalk light

I was sober but I felt alright

I was lonesome but I did not care

I was happy on my own down there

You came on so friendly introducing her to me

Somehow somethin' shifted and I drifted out to sea


[Chorus]

And I don't wish you tears

And I don't mean you harm

But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms


[Verse 2]

Is she poison? Man, I just can't tell

I'm in heaven but I don't feel well

And here I stand a-talkin'

I don't expect to shake your hand

I don't know what you're thinkin'

But I hope you'll understand


[Chorus]

That I don't wish you tears

And I don't mean you harm

But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms, ooh


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

I've bought some tickets and I've packed my clothеs

'Cause I'm leaving and I hope shе'll go

I'm going back to Memphis and I'd like to change her name

Do I have her love or am I caught up in some game?


[Chorus]

And I don't wish you tears

And I don't mean you harm

But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms
