Lyrics Deep Inside Me - Joe South

Play with fire and you'll get burned
As a child that's a lesson I learned
But the years go by
And you tend to forget the past
At least that's what happened to me
And now it's plain to see
That I have fallen in a web
You weaved so well

I'll never, never be the same
Memories will remain
Deep inside me
Deep inside me, baby
Deep inside me
Deep inside me
Mmm-hmm

My mama said "You be careful, son
She'll break your heart while she's havin' fun
Just wait your turn and true love has gotta come your way"
But then I tossed Mama's words away
And to this very day
I hear somethin' say
"Son, I told you so"

I'll never, never be the same
But memories will remain
Yes, they will
Deep inside me
Deep inside me
The memories will remain
Deep, deep inside me
Way down, way down
Deep inside me
Deep inside me
Yes, they will
Deep, deep inside
