Lyrics

In a three bedroom trailer in Paradise Park,
Dixie is washing her hair.
On a blue velvet bed spread she waits in the dark,
wondering when I'll be there.

I work in a nightclub, I play in the band
and watch as the hours go by.
The people who listen, they don't understand.
They only applaud when I cry.

Ah, but Dixie, when you love me,
you make me feel happy, you make me feel glad.
Dixie, when you love me ...
Dixie, when you love me ...

I walk through the door, steppin' light on the floor,
I carry my shirt and my shoes.
Your baby lays sleeping a few feet away,
dreaming of love, I suppose.

We try not to waken your roommate Dianne
who doesn't approve of our fun.
In three or four hours, we learn what we can,
and try not to cry when it's done.

Oh, my Dixie, when you love me,
you make me feel happy, you make me feel glad.
Dixie, when you love me ...
Dixie, when you love me ...

The sun rises early and it wakes me too soon,
I leave you asleep, with a sigh.
And I dare not look back as I steal from the room
and whisper a silent, "goodbye."

Oh, my Dixie, when you love me,
you make me feel happy, you make me feel glad.
Dixie, when you love me ...
Dixie, when you love me ...
