[Verse 1]
Oh, Nelly
The Nelly I know
Is worth every mountain
Or valley below
[Verse 2]
You were my best friend
I nearly lost control
When you took to walkin'
And I watched you go
[Chorus]
You found you a dead-end man
Who don't know your worth
He's standing there holdin' your hand
He don't say a word
I might sound crazy
Tellin' you my mind
He's running through you like cancer
You ain't got much time
[Verse 3]
Oh, Nelly
Nelly, I know
He's robbin' your eyes of
Their silver and gold
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It killed me to hear you say
That you need him to live
It's bound to be you or him someday
Destined to give
I still think about you
I have all along
I'll pray who you're seein'
Has packed up and gone
[Verse 4]
Oh, Nelly
Nelly, I know
You're worth every mountain
Or valley below
[Verse 5]
Oh-oh, Nelly
Nelly, I know
He's robbin' your eyes of
Their silver and gold
