Lyrics
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
This heart of mine can't stand the pain I feel from day to day
Though it feels so right, I know you're wrong for me
I thought in time this feeling would just up and go away
But what I'm feelin' for you just won't let me go free
Chorus
I wanna stay faithful to my wife
I wanna stay truthful with my family
But it's not so easy girl 'cause you're pullin' on me
I wanna remember who's my wife
I wanna remember who's my family
But you make it very hard, so very hard
'Cause you're pullin' on me
My pain began the day I said my first "Hello" to you
And it's tough to see that I could be so weak
Your pretty smile was all it took to tear my life in two
'Cause what I'm feelin' for you just won't let me go free
I wanna stay faithful to my wife
I wanna stay truthful with my family
But it's not so easy girl 'cause you're pullin' on me
I wanna remember who's my wife
I wanna remember who's my family
But you make it very hard, so very hard
'Cause you're pullin' on me
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
(Pullin', pullin') Stop pullin'
I wanna stay faithful to my wife
I wanna stay truthful with my family
But it's not so easy girl 'cause you're pullin' on me
I wanna remember who's my wife
I wanna remember who's my family
But you make it very hard, so very hard
'Cause you're pullin' on me
(repeat ...)
Stop pullin' on me
